Hello friends, family, and loved ones,
What a day! We enjoyed fantastic weather for our trek to Base Camp today. Great views the entire day. The Team did really well and spent some time at Base Camp high-fiving and taking a lot of pictures.
A small contingent climbed Kala Pattar this afternoon and came back with some great photographs of the Alpenglow on Mt. Everest. People are tired but doing really well.
Tomorrow morning, it’s down to Dingboche.
All our best,
Vern and Carole
