Our last wave of climbers summited Lobuche this morning and are all safely back to Lobuche Base Camp. Our pre-aclimated Speed Ascent climbers who flew into Pheriche will make their ascent tomorrow morning and then we will pack down our Lobuche Base Camps and High Camps for the season. Congratulations to everyone for such a fantastic, safe, successful and strong effort on Lobuche.

Meanwhile up at Everest Base Camp, our Western Guided Team Climbers took a rest day today and did some light training as they look toward starting their first rotation in coming days.

Our Private Guided Climbers enjoyed their first full day settling into their new home. Their warm welcome to camp started with Chef Jensen preparing a hearty, delicious breakfast of French Toast and braised peaches with a salted caramel sauce followed by cappuccinos (care of barista Cena Lama) and fresh, warm brownies in the Big House. A pretty good start and a good energy load this morning!

Over the next few days the teams will prepare for their rotations to begin and we will wave farewell to our trekkers as they head over to Gokyo and back down valley.

Our 3 Peaks team will also split off to climb Pokalde and Island Peak.

Everything moving smoothly up high in the Himalaya.
