Welcoming much of the CTSS team into Base Camp today with our IFMGA Team reaching camp just a few hours ago along with private clients Mark W & Kent S.

Meanwhile, our Trekking Team have enjoyed their headstart on the camp facilities and slept well, enjoying their first hot showers in 5 days today. They hiked up lookout out point yesterday and a few ventured up Kala Pattar this morning. They are heading for a walk in the safe, lower part of the icefall this afternoon. Tomorrow they’ll start their way back down the valley to Pheriche.

The Western Guided/International Team took a rest day at Lobuche Basecamp today and are coming into EBC tomorrow, they might pass our trekkers on their way up.

Fahad and Ossie are positioned at Lobuche High Camp ready to go for the summit tomorrow, before a rest day and then the journey into EBC to join the rest of the climbers the following day.

Our Lhotse climber Robert is also now making his way up the valley toward Basecamp.

In coming days, I’ll share more photos of the CTSS set up, we’ve gone all out this year to ensure everyone is comfortable, happy and well fed. Think 3x insulated dining hall tents, multiple hot showers, double room full Western-style WC bathrooms, a geodesic dome hang out tent, a massive catering kitchen and a communications tent that rivals any boardroom.

As for our insulated, carpeted, heated, humidified & powered Everest Executive tents,  I’ll give you a sneak peek inside the bedroom of one and you can decide for yourself whether or not you’d want to move in…  #EverestGlamping

Cheers
