Pheriche to Lobuche
Today the Everest team moved up along the Khumbu Glacier to the village of Lobuche (4940m/16,207ft.), leaving just one more day of trekking to reach Everest Base Camp. Here’s expedition leader, Garrett Madison‘s recap of the day:
Hello, this is Garrett calling in for the Mountain Hardwear Mount Everest Expedition team. Today is September 14. We had a great day trekking from Pheriche up to Lobuche. We stopped and had lunch in Thuklha and then stopped at the Everest Memorials and took in the gravity of the place. And then made our way up to Lobuche where we settled in this afternoon, had a great dinner, also a birthday celebration for one of our team members, Sable, and we’re heading off to bed here shortly.
Tomorrow we’re looking forward to arriving in Everest Base Camp! So, fingers crossed for good weather. All’s well here on the trek to Everest Base Camp in the Khumbu Valley!
