Everest guide Terray Sylvester calls in from the Nepal village of Lobuche with a recap of the day’s trek:
Hello, this is Terray calling in for the Madison Mountaineering 2021 Everest expedition. It’s Saturday, April 10th. Today we walked from Pheriche to Lobuche. So we’re at a new higher altitude, we’re at almost exactly 5000m. We had great weather for the walk today. We stopped for lunch at Dughla and then we climbed up the moraine at the foot of the path of the Khumbu glacier and had some really great views as we passed Lobuche Peak and came into the village of Lobche.
We relaxed in the bakery here in Lobuche, which was open – more cappuccinos and baked goods. Then we watched the alpinglow on the flanks of Nuptse and enjoyed dinner. We’re just heading to bed now.
Tomorrow we’ll move on up to Gorakshep and we will enjoy a sunset climb up to Kala Patthar. So all is well and we’ll be in touch!
If climbing Mount Everest is in your future, please contact our office, we would love to have you climb with us!
