Here’s what our teams are up to in the Khumbu today:
Our Western Guided team is doing well on their rotation. They successfully tagged Camp 2 today before retreating to Camp 1 to sleep. Several of our private climbers will be headed to Camp 1 this evening.
Otherwise, we have more private climbers who are acclimatizing and practicing their skills. Thank you to climber Eva Steinwald, who, at 62, is aiming to climb all Seven Summits by the age of 70. Eva took part in our Masters Mountaineering webinar, and we are excited to follow along as she sets her sights on summiting Everest this season.
We have one team, the Bouka family, arriving at Everest Base Camp today. They will no doubt enjoy the comforts of our luxury camp.
Further down the Khumbu, our second team of Everest Base Camp trekkers is at Lobuche Base Camp. Today, they took an acclimatization hike to Lobuche High Camp before returning to Base Camp for the evening.
And finally, our 30-Day Speed Ascender, Rick, is moving up from Pheriche and will be at Everest Base Camp in the coming days.
Below are a few shots from CTSS’s Cinematographer Griffin Kerwin, who has truly captured the spirit of the Khumbu and Everest in his photos.
