The views are truly epic as the haze from the forest fires dissipates and the teams are spoilt with fantastic weather.

Our Western Guided Team will have tagged Lobuche High Camp today to reach a new high point before returning back to Lobuche Base Camp for some additional training and a shakeout of their skills. They’ll be cosy in the insulated dome for dinner! Tomorrow they will move up to Lobuche High Camp and continue to acclimatise. Your loved ones might be a bit out of touch during this time but rest assured “no news is good news” and soon they’ll be rolling on up toward EBC, first summit under their belts and spamming you with stunning images and stories from their few days on Lobuche. From the summit they’ll be checking out their next objective.. Everest & for some Lhotse too!

The Private Expedition and trekking team is close behind in Pheriche. Today they did an acclimatization hike high above the village along the ridgeline, hitting 5000m which offers spectacular scenery. Some of the best views of Ama Dablam. Tomorrow they will move on to Lobuche Base Camp ready to strap on their crampons.

CTSS’ Private Sherpa and IFMGA Sherpa Guided Team remained in Deboche with an acclimatization/rest day. A hike up to 4000m and a Puja at Tengboche Monastery with the High Lamas to ask for safe climbing. Tomorrow they will move up to Pheriche.

Everything is moving smoothly in Nepal, we’re excited to be moving smoothly up and up…

Cheers,

CTSS Team
