We’re still playing the waiting game here at Everest base camp but have been staying busy going for day hikes to Pumori Camp 1 and Gorak Sherp for Pringles and Coke, and gearing up for the summit rotation. Some of the team ducked down to Namche and back on the heli for some thick air and cappuccinos and are now back at EBC. We’ve ben eating lots of great food here at base camp and Kumar continue’s to surprise us: fresh doughnuts with cream and fresh, home made yoghurt with Muesli for breakfast, pulled pork sandwiches for lunch, chicken steaks for dinner, and sweet papaya and pomegranate fresh off the heli for desert.

We are watching the weather forecast closely as the Sherpa team supply our high camp. It has been windy the past few days but as I write the Sherpa are cresting the Yellow Band en route to C4. The summit route has now been fixed to the Balcony

We’ll keep you posted on our movement as summit day nears. 

All best from EBC,
