Hello Everyone,

The team is doing great here in Basecamp! We are getting very acclimatized to around 17k ft, and staying healthy.

Yesterday we started our technical skills review at camp and today went out into the lower icefall to review more. Tomorrow we will finish up our review and be a step closer to heading up on our first rotation up the mountain to Camp 1 and Camp 2.

We’ve had some afternoon snow showers the last several days but overall the weather has been great.

I will send out some photos tomorrow!

Thanks for following along,

Hello Everyone,

Today we went on another hike to help acclimatize our bodies to a new altitude of 18,500ft. It was a bit cloudy today so we didn’t get to see all of the spectacular views we normally do on this hike but still a great hike. Everyone is feeling better each day here at Basecamp as we adjust to the altitude. Tomorrow we will begin some of our review and practice on crossing ladders, then we will spend the next few days doing this in the lower Khumbu icefall. We are all healthy, and doing well here in Basecamp!

Thanks for following along,
