A short update today to let you know The Western Guided Team are safely back at Base Camp after 3 stormy days and nights at Camp 1.
Great acclimatisation for the team to have slept up high for so many nights. They will now rest up, allow their bodies to play catch up before making their next foray up hill.
The Private Teams & Sherpa Guided Teams have been ladder training and and keeping active the past few days in preparation for their first rotation starting today.
We’ve got the Private IFMGA Climbers and most of the Personal Sherpa Climbers out the door this morning and Big Tendi and the IFMGA Sherpa Guided Team Climbers will follow closely tomorrow.
Our Everest Speed Ascent climbers have arrived safely in Base Camp and they’ll take a rest day today and settle in and have a chance to enjoy Base Camp which looks so pretty in the new snow.
Meanwhile Our 3 Peaks Team are back in Kathmandu having enjoyed great climbs of Lobuche & Pokalde but with the snow storm shutting them down on Island Peak. Big shout out to Bryan Hill & his friends who raised some extra money to outfit the 3 Peaks porter crew with new boots, socks, gaiters, shell pants and jackets with money left over to be distributed equally into the Sherpa Tip pool. We are always really impressed with our climbers & community who go the extra mile to help.
Cheers
CTSS Team
