Our internet connection has been very irregular over the last 2 days so I will post my backlog as soon as I can upload.
By now, I have probably had all bugs I could expect, early on in the trek: AMS, Flu, Food poisoning. Today was a test to see how the body had recovered.
I was assigned an impetuous Sherpa who had me storm up to Kalapathar!
A small peak above Pumori basecamp and the lake (see map). We did the return trip in 3 hours plus photos at the top and needless to say, I took a nap thereafter…
More importantly, I was finally able to see my summits up close and personal, The Quatuor of the Everest range: Changtse (North Summit) in China; Lhotse (South Summit); Nuptse (West Summit) and of course Everest (East summit).
We were also able to see basecamp. More on that and my surprises when I have better bandwidth…
