Successful second day of training in the Khumbu Icefall!

Today we woke up to a great breakfast and headed back onto the ice for our second day of training in the Khumbu Icefall. We practiced the rope techniques on ice and ladders and all of the team members are learning and growing stronger. The weather was beautiful and some of the climbers took to their flip flops and shorts to fully enjoy the warmth of the sun. For dinner we had one of our best meals yet with fresh chicken and sides that came out on fire, actually! Tomorrow we will continue to train in the icefall and look forward to another exciting day at Mount Everest Base Camp.

      Hi Loria!

      We’ve noticed a slight decrease in climbers and trekkers at base camp. Lots of positive energy and excitement this season though! Thank you for your support! 🙂

    That’s great to hear, Andrew. I had hoped Nepal would not see a nosedive in tourism this year. You guys have promoted continued interest in Everest and are well represented with you big group of trekkers, climbers, sherpa, and guides. .That’s just exactly what is needs from well-established companies.

    You and your team rake care. 🙂
