Jeff…What’s up brother? You should explain that while in Green Bay the best way to stay warm is to have a couple of drinks! Kids say hi. Hope all is well.

Hello Readers,
We woke to a clear frosty day. The team made their way to the dining hall for various hot drinks to warm up the bodies before hitting the frozen trail. Once on the trail it didn't take long for the sun to begin to thaw the grown and us. Shortly I to our hike we came across about 15 Tahr roaming the hillside. You can't beat a wildlife sighting. Halfway to our new Teahouse we stopped in Pangboche to do a puja ceremony where the team got blessed for safe travels. Even though we do not practice their religion or understand all the intricacies in the ceremony, it's a moving experience and makes you want to learn more. A quick stop for tea fueled us to our final location, Pheriche. Here we will spend two nights acclimatizing. The other RMI teamed rolled in in the afternoon. It was fun to see the descending team and know that will be us in about a week. For now we will enjoy the scenery around us and let our bodies adjust to the new altitude.
Goodnight all,
RMI Guides Hannah, Abby, and Team
The combination of the Everest Base Camp trek with a summit of Lobuche offered by RMI Expeditions is an excellent choice for people who expect to do more than merely trek to Camp! The mountain of Lobuche East at 6,119 meters is ideal for those wishing to experience their first real mountaineering summit in the Khumbu region. One thing that sets the RMI expeditions apart is the extent of technical knowledge regarding mountaineering incorporated into what might normally be seen as only a trek. This is achieved because of the fact that both the trekking and mountaineering portions of the trip are led by qualified mountain guides. Another point worth noting is the acclimatization process, which takes place via stops in Namche, Tengboche, and Dingboche. In the case of someone with mountaineering ambitions, who also wishes to undertake the classic EBC trek, this package offers great value.

We had warm and sunny weather today and we took advantage of it to single carry all of our loads to the Base of Ski Hill. It took us 5 hours to get here, traveling on the Kahiltna Glacier with heavy packs and pulling heavy sleds.
The plan for tomorrow is to bump a load of supplies up Ski Hill to around 9800' and create a cache. Then we will return to our current camp for the night. The weather is looking good and everyone is doing well.
I am thinking about and praying for all of you! Focus on the spectacular beauty!

Hi Team - Phew! Glad to hear the flight went smoothly! I was a little nervous when Bruce and Michael told me about the airport, and my curious self started down the deep and dark hole of the internet. Looking forward to tomorrow’s update!
