Hello Everyone,
Yesterday afternoon we made it to Manaslu Basecamp.  We are now at about 15,900ft in Basecamp and enjoying our amazing luxuries of camp.  Our Sherpa/Nepali team has again done a great job of setting up a comfortable basecamp for our climbers.  Last night for dinner our Chef cooked us Yak steak sizzler, a crowd favorite!

Today we are relaxing, organizing our tents, and adjusting to the altitude.  Tomorrow we will have our Puja ceremony in Basecamp to ask for a safe climb for all.  And in the next couple of days we will begin our rotation up the mountain for our acclimatization.

I will post more pics tomorrow after the Puja.

Thanks for following along,

Ben Jones
