Gear packed and ready to be transported to Cho Oyu. (Ang Jangbu Sherpa)
All Cho Oyu Climbers and Tibet Trekkers have arrived in Kathmandu with all their luggage. Great news! IMG Senior Guides Dallas Glass and Phunuru Sherpa have been busy meeting the team and running through gear. Our team came from all over the world and handled the first duffel shuffle very well. Next up for the group is a team meeting tomorrow morning, followed by a trip to the Chinese Embassy to drop off their passports for Visa processing. While they wait for their passport stamps they’ll focus on shaking the jetlag, and staying hydrated & healthy.
Jangbu and the Sherpa team have been hard at work the past few weeks organizing the paperwork and gathering all of the needed gear and supplies for the trip to Chinese Base Camp outside of Tingri. Jangbu reports that we have an estimated 2 truck loads of gear that needs to be sent to Tibet for the expedition.
All is well in Kathmandu!
