News just in from Expedition Leader Mike Hamill from our teams in the Khumbu.

Congratulations to our climbers who set off on their summit bid of Lobuche this morning with everyone on top. Girish, Laurie, Jane & Gabby! Nice work! Meanwhile Jessica and Kami continued on their planned private schedule kicking goals with their training. The whole team back together now and have just pulled back into Lobuche Base Camp where they’ll enjoy a well deserved rest tonight before heading into Everest Base Camp tomorrow.

Our third wave (Everest/Lhotse/3 Peaks & Lobuche climbers) have now moved up from Lobuche Base Camp tonight and have settled into High Camp. Tomorrow they will do some more training drills and a short acclimatization climb above High Camp before preparing for their summit bid the following day.

Our Western Guided Team are rolling into Everest Base Camp now – home away from home for the next six weeks! They’ll unpack and start getting settled. Baristas are on Cappucino duty in the Big House Dome while Chef Jensen gets dinner rolling.

All is well with the CTSS teams in the Himalaya!
