- Masinchaur – One of the “flexible†runways used in the past. (Adam Angel)
-
- Dolpo group ready to go.
“It is HOT!†Adam checked in with a warm and happy team from Nepalgunj, down near the Indian border. All the gear made it with the team on the flight and everything is moving smoothly for their flight tomorrow up to Jufal in northwest Nepal.
Adam has one of our long time Sherpa Guides with him right now. Mingma Dorge is in the center of the departure photo. He will be a great addition to the team and will always be one step in front of what is going on. Good to have Mingma on the team. Our trekking Sirdar for Dolpo will be our stalwart Lopsang. He is up in Jufal with the trek staff, awaiting the team’s arrival flight tomorrow morning.
One of the things we have learned through the years with any trek or climb is patience and flexibility. Tomorrow will be another early morning as they move closer to lower Dolpo and the launch point for the trek!
