Our teams are doing great!

Yesterday our Wave 1 Team (Western Guided Team Summit Climbers/3 Peaks and Rugged Luxury Trekkers) acclimatized around Namche. They went up to the Everest View Hotel for a coffee while Everest poked in and out of the clouds. They spent the afternoon exploring the winding streets of Namche, shopping and exploring.

Today they hiked 5-6 hours to Tengboche, their base for the next 2 nights to help acclimatize. They’ll visit the Tengboche Monastery and do some short hikes in the area. Team is happy and well.

Our Second Wave (Our 1:1 Private climbers and The Crum Family) moved up to Namche today, with Namche Hill always being a solid first challenge of the trek. They made good time and are enjoying the rest. They’ll stop in Namche for 2x nights before following the earlier team to Tengboche.

Finally our 3rd Wave (Our Sherpa supported climbers, Lobuche Climbers & EBC Trekkers) are enjoying their final night in Kathmandu and will fly into the Khumbu early tomorrow morning.
