Hello Everyone,
We are now settled back into basecamp after our successful first rotation of acclimatization on Lobuche East peak. After showers and laundry and the great food prepared by our longtime cook Gopal it’s nice to be back “home” for several days enjoying the nice comforts of basecamp.
As the mountain seems like it will be very crowded for the next couple of weeks we are going to go to Mera peak for our final acclimatization rotation before being ready to head up for a summit push in late May.
So, for the next few days we will do a few activities around here and will head up into the first half of the Khumbu icefall tomorrow after breakfast and then start to get prepared for flying down valley to Mera. We will spend about a week there and will camp for 3 nights near the altitude of C3 on Everest. The team is doing well and excited to get heading to our next round of acclimatizing.
Thanks for following along,
Ben Jones
