Our various teams are having a ball in the Khumbu as they steadily make their way toward Everest Base Camp.

At Lobuche Base Camp is our First Wave, our Western Guided Team Climbers with Guides Robert Jantzen and Quique Clausen., and our 3 Peaks Climbers. They report that everyone is doing exceptionally well, and are delighted by the logistics at Lobuche Base Camp. Today they climbed up to tag Lobuche High Camp, descended to Base Camp and spent the afternoon doing some skills clinics and training, shaking off the dust of those fundamental skills they will use in the days ahead on Lobuche as their warm up run to Everest. Tomorrow they will move to Lobuche High Camp.

Our Rugged Luxury Trekkers have spent their second night at our tented camp at Lobuche and tomorrow they will start out early to Base Camp! Meanwhile Chef Minella is at Base Camp readying for everyone’s arrival.

We don’t have wifi at Lobuche so these are photos from the CTSS archives

All is on schedule and everyone is moving really well.
