The team left Base Camp at 2:00 am and summited
The team left Base Camp at 2:00 am and summited Urus Este at 7:45 am and was back in Base Camp before noon! We enjoyed the day resting in the beautiful Ishinca Valley and lying in the sun near the creeks watching the horses, burros, and cattle graze.
We will check in tomorrow from Huaraz

As comfortable as we were in Namche Bazaar, it was time to go higher. We got our customary 8 AM start climbing up and out of town. Initially the trail was quite steep, but then it leveled off as we began following the Bhote Koshi River. We travelled in a thick pine forest with only occasional views of the great peaks surrounding us. Following the pattern of the past few days, clouds began moving in by mid-morning. A few hours walking brought us to Thamo, where we stopped for tea. Another hour got us to a dramatic cable bridge crossing of the violent river. We pulled into 12,500ft Thame, a garden-like village of neat yak pens and potato fields at 1 PM. It turns out we are lodged in Apa Sherpa’s tea house… and his home (before Utah). Apa was the Everest record holder for many years, having climbed the mountain 21 times and he is a hero to many of us still. The clouds closed in after our lunch and made it easy to nap away the afternoon (since staring up at the mountains was no longer an option). It is a little colder as we gain altitude, but the dining/sitting room is plenty comfortable with a fire.
Best Regards
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
Tonight we climb!
After a beautiful day spent carrying our gear up to high camp along the dusty and rocky trail, we are ready for our summit push of Izta. We have the mountain to ourselves today and enjoyed the solitude. It was just our climbing team, the mountain, and of course a few dogs to keep us company. After fueling ourselves with quesadillas and water, we tuck in and prepare for an alpine start.
