Gokyo Trek: Hahn & Team Take Rest Day and a walk in Gokyo
Wednesday, October 9, 2024 - 3:56 am PT
For sleeping at 15,700 ft last night, the team fared pretty well. All were present and conscious for breakfast… even smiling. Some chose to actually rest on the rest day while others went for the more active program. We set out after breakfast headed toward Cho Oyu, the world’s sixth highest mountain. We didn’t mean to climb it. There is a great view of the mountain from Gokyo, we walked toward it to stretch our legs and to see a few other big mountains. Our route took us near “fourth lake” and “fifth lake” a few more in the magical chain of turquoise lakes along the enormous Ngozumpa Glacier. After nearly four miles, we reached an excellent place to sit while gazing at Mt Everest, Gyangchungkang, Cho Oyu and a hundred other stunning peaks. The team was reunited back at the Fitzroy in Gokyo by 2 PM, just in time for a meal and a nap.
