The whole team has made it to Everest Base Camp! A perfect day. There weren’t many people on the trail from Gorek shep and no huge yak trains so we made great time. We stopped at the base camp rock (which is the entry point to camp) took some photos and then walked another 45 minutes to our camp. Everyone was surprised at the size of camp - it’s over a mile long! And it’s on the edge of the glacier so imagine lots of rock on top of ice. We settled in with an amazing meal and got a tour of our home for two nights - dining tent, sleeping tents, bathrooms and even a shower!
We spent the afternoon staring up at the Khumbu icefall, the glaciers surrounding us, taking warm showers and just enjoying this remarkable place.
Everyone is so strong and doing great even at 17,500ft!
