Tagging C3! (over 7000m!) Our Sherpa Guided, Private teams, and IFMGA Sherpa team climbers are working their way up and down part of the Lhotse Face today.
The teams spent the night at camp 2 last night and are are working their way up the Lhotse face to touch a new high point of Camp 3 today and will return to C2, before heading back down to Basecamp over the next few days for some thicker air and well deserved rest. They’ve been climbing fast and strong.

As planned our Western Guided Team took an acclimatization hike to Kala Patar before descending back to basecamp. They are trying on down suits today and getting their summit gear dialled with a few games of cards and movies for good measure.
We’re looking forward to more photos from our team at Camp 2 when they return to service at Basecamp!
Cheers,
CTSS Team
