Everest Team Gets First Views of Everest!

Posted on April 15, 2026 | Cybercasts

Hello Everyone,

We had a great day today with a couple short hikes. After breakfast we hiked up to Gokyo Ri (17,500ft) where we got our first views of Everest (left most mountain in the photo)! After that we descended back down to Gokyo for lunch and then hiked an hour and a half down across the glacier to Dragnag (15,400ft). Tomorrow we will climb over Cho La pass (17,800ft) for our last night on the trek before heading to Basecamp! The team is healthy and feeling good.

Thanks for following along,

Ben Jones
