It was a beautiful morning on the South side of Mt. Everest with our first wave of climbers (being the IFMGA teams and our Personal Sherpa climbers; as well as Austin our Camp 3 climber) have safely made it through the icefall.

As I write they are enjoying hot tea and an afternoon nap in the sun at Camp 1. Sounds quite nice doesn’t it? Well deserved indeed.

Tomorrow, they will set off to tag Camp 2 before returning to Camp 1 to sleep. Also making moves in the wee hours of tomorrow is our second wave, made up of 2x of our Private Groups – With Fahad and Ossy setting off for C1 alongside Mark W and Big Tendi. Today they prepped and packed and had a rest day. They’re feeling good about the adventure that lies ahead.

Meanwhile, our Western Guided/International team enjoyed an acclimatization hike up to Pumori Camp 1 and they’ll have a packing, prep day tomorrow before heading uphill on the 24th. Robert our Lhotse climber will move in that wave as well as Private Team Kent & Fred.

All is well at EBC and beyond,
Cheers Caroline
