Hello everyone!!

We’re rolling through the Khumbu in style at the moment, enjoying all the fantastic clear skies.

As you know The Western Guided Team are a bit quiet as they are unplugged high on Lobuche, yesterday they checked out the lower Lobuche climbing route (above High Camp) and weather permitting they’ll be climbing right now to stand on top of their first objective – Lobuche East. You can check out the Lobuche climb here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WTTGuUGT7A&list=PLMz_kRmPTvqWaiXsJ-OVFw-ViMzHAzyjW

We’ll bring you more news soon. Tonight they’ll be dropping to Base Camp and tomorrow set off towards EBC!

Our Private Guided Team and Trekkers acclimatized above Lobuche Base Camp reaching a new high point and did a skills training clinic after lunch, they’ll head up to begin their stay at High Camp today. They’ll swap out with our Western Guided Team and no doubt get a little fresh beta on the climb. Conditions on Lobuche this season are dry which makes the ascent more challenging but the blue skies are making up for it. A few more days of acclimatization and then they’ll tag the summit.

Our Personal Sherpa Team is moving up from Pheriche today after a stunning acclimatization hike yesterday high above Pheriche. You can expect them to now be out of touch for about 4-5 days as they follow the same schedule as the earlier teams.

Lobuche Base Camp looks a bit different than years past with our new, insulated geodesic dome keeping everyone toasty and extra comfy.

Cheers
CTSS Team
