Greetings from Nepal!

With everyone now at our Everest Base Camp, we celebrated with another Puja today for those who missed the first one, including our 30-Day and 40-Day Speed Ascent climbers and our Personal Sherpa team.

Meanwhile, our 1:1 Private Climbers and their guides are getting higher in the Western Cwm. Earlier today, they tagged Camp 2 and are now resting easy back at Camp 1 for the night. The team made great time, and tomorrow, they will retreat back to Everest Base Camp, wrapping their first rotation.

Our Personal Sherpa climbers head out early tomorrow for their first rotation up through the Khumbu Icefall to Camp 1.

With one rotation complete, our Western Guided team enjoyed a well-deserved rest day today as they strategized for their next rotation window. They are looking at heading up for their second rotation on Monday or Tuesday with our 40-Day Speed Ascent team folding in.

Our Sherpa team is doing an incredible job and working incredibly hard for all our climbers. Today, they spent the day fixing lines to Camp 3 to establish camp and stock the upper mountain.

All is well and on schedule in the Himalayas, and happy Anzac Day to all of our climbers, friends, and followers from Down Under!
