Two Nights on Top

A message from Adrian last night confirmed that all is well on Lobuche. A storm on Sunday kept everyone hunkered down in Moraine Camp, but at 5pm the clouds miraculously cleared and everyone climbed "perfect neve" to the 6000m summit in ideal conditions. All are now down, resting another day at camp before making their way back up, where they will spend two nights acclimatizing on the summit. David Tait and Adrian will leave a day ahead of the rest in order to have three nights up high. Meanwhile, the Himex Sherpa are making major progress on the upper mountain.

Lobuche Base Camp – almost home

7 days into our trek to Everest BC we are at our final night in beds and indoors. Tomorrow we head to the first of our tent camps, Lobuche basecamp at about 16,200 feet. We will spend a couple of nights there before moving up to our true basecamp close to Pumo Ri. The good news today was that our last heli of equipment, along with the boss - Russell Brice - arrived in Syangboche and will join us in camp in the next 3 days or so.
