Hello!
Today we spent a full day at Everest Base Camp. How cool is that!
After coffee and a big ‘ol breakfast everyone that wanted was able to take a hot shower. The sun was blasting and it was such a treat. The Lobuche climbing team met together to talk about our plan for the next few days while everyone else relaxed and took in the views. Before we knew it, it was lunch time!
Right after lunch we all headed into the lower Khumbu Icefall where the climbing team got to practice ascending and rappelling on the ice. Everyone did awesome and we are even more excited about the climb. We all headed back to camp to pack and prepare for our base camp departure before dinner.
Tomorrow, we will go our separate ways. The trekkers will head downhill and fly to Kathmandu, the Lobuche climbers will head to high camp. But tonight we cheered with one last cup of hot tea to this incredible adventure, the warmth of the Sherpa people inviting us into their lives and mountains, and to 12 strangers becoming new companions.
We are sending lots of love to our friends and family at home and can't wait to share more with you all soon.
RMI Guide Jess Wedel, Sam Marjerison, and the base camp team.
