Our teams are on the move today! To kick things off, our second Rugged Luxury team has settled into Everest Base Camp and participated in our beginner-friendly ice climbing clinic at the base of the Khumbu Icefall. They will close out their day with a movie in our big house and plenty of hearty food prepared by our chef, Emma Lawrenson.

Lobuche is the place to be today for our Western Guided, 3 Peaks, and Lobuche teams, along with our private climbers. Our Western Guided team moved to Lobuche High Camp, where they will acclimatize and train before making a summit bid, while our 3 Peaks team stayed at Lobuche Base Camp for more skill training before heading onward to High Camp. Our private climbers and the Lobuche team joined the 3 Peaks team at Base Camp today, and tomorrow they will take an acclimatization hike to High Camp and then return to Base Camp for a skills clinic.   

The rest of our teams and climbers in the Khumbu made their way to Pheriche today, including our Everest Base Camp trekkers, the Kirby Family, and Camp 3 climber Doug.

Back in Kathmandu, our logistics teams are gearing up for the arrival of our second team of Everest Base Camp trekkers and our 40-day Speed Ascent climbers.

We are proud at CTSS to be able to offer customized itineraries for any of our climbers. If you want to add on another peak, bring a friend or family member along, or even make sure you capture these moments in video and film, we’ve got you covered.
