A few photos and a quick update from CTSS guide Abiral with our Western Guided and 3 Peaks teams, along with private climber Marlene. Here’s what Abiral shared after the team successfully made it to Pheriche on Day 7.
“All team members are in high spirits and looking forward to the upcoming ascent of Lobuche Peak, an essential part of their acclimatization for Everest. So far, the journey has been going incredibly well, thanks to the seamless coordination between our Western guides, 3 Peaks guides, and the experienced Nepali guides.”
Today, these climbers will make their way to Lobuche Base Camp before heading to High Camp for their ascent. Thank you, Abiral, for these photos:
Our Lobuche team, along with private Everest climbers, made the trek to Pheriche. Tomorrow, they will visit the Himalayan Rescue Association’s Pheriche Aid post, which started in 1973 to assist climbers and trekkers. Today, this post can accommodate two doctors, one medical assistant, one cook, and cleaning staff. Below are a few photos of climbers Emma and Sam, who have eyes set on summitting the world’s tallest peak and rounding out their Seven Summits journey. Check our recent blog post to learn more about Emma, who has already summited six of the Seven Summits at just 16 years old.
The Kirby family, Camp 3 climber Doug, and Everest Base Camp trekkers are bringing up the end of our first wave. Today, these climbers and trekkers continued their journey up the Khumbu Valley and arrived in either Debouche or Tengboche. They will all have the opportunity to visit the famed Tengboche Monastery tomorrow.
Our Rugged Luxury team two will arrive at Everest Base Camp tomorrow. Team one has officially departed Everest Base Camp – see the video below of their luxury ride back to Kathmandu. After landing, the team was whisked away from one additional treat: a recovery massage. Today, they took a city tour of Kathmandu, highlighting various UNESCO World Heritage sites throughout the city. Their final day will end with a team dinner before departing.
