It’s go time! We’ve got guides and climbers flying into Kathmandu from all over the world, gear is making its way up the Khumbu Valley, and Everest Basecamp is taking shape. In other words, it’s Everest Season!

Over the next few days, CTSS climbers will arrive in Kathmandu, buy their last few items, and be briefed on what’s next for the upcoming trek and climb. It’s always an exciting time and this year is no different.

What is different is how we operate through Covid-19. Our team will remain in their own Pod at the hotel for the duration of their stay in Kathmandu. As we leave to fly into Lukla we’ll split into smaller groups and keep together throughout the trek, avoiding other teams and minimizing contact with anyone not in our pod.

CTSS is going to great lengths to keep our team as safe and healthy as possible, after all, we’ve got a long trip and a huge goal ahead of us!
