Team Mera on Top!

Namaste friends, family & loved ones,

A quick note to report that all of the Team stood on top of Mera Peak this morning! Everyone is already off the glacier and making their way back down the trail to our tea house in Khare, where we will rest, rehydrate and, of course, celebrate our success. It was a spectacular day to climb and we were afforded amazing views all around. Photos and a more detailed report to follow— especially when our internet service is more reliable! Congrats to a cohesive and very strong group who climbed this peak in style!

Tomorrow we will start to make our way back down the valley. We’ll report back to you then.
