Everest/Lhotse 2021: Back to Kathmandu, wrap up.

 

Hello Everyone,

We have been back in Kathmandu for a few days now and have been lucky enough to have gotten flights out of Kathmandu tonight. We are looking forward to making our way back home but it has been an incredible journey even though we were unable to reach the summit this year. We built a great team, and we were all able to have many positive outcomes throughout this journey.

We will be back next year and hope that the weather will be a little nicer towards the end of May!

Thanks for following along,

Ben Jones
Expedition Leader
