Update From The Hinku Valley

September 29, 2015

Dropping down from Pang Kongma La to Shibuche (Eric Simonson)

 

Great conversation with Eric Simonson on the trail. All is well as the team heads towards Mera Peak. The weather cleared up for them a bit yesterday and they could see up the Valley.

Eric said the “trail” is challenging. “There just does not seem to be a ton of traffic on this route.”

The team is doing great and when Eric checks in, we go through our communications the same way we do when I am on Everest. One of the questions we always ask each other is “Where are you?” This is a particularly good question when the team is on a new trek. Eric’s response for last night’s check in was “We are at Ningsow…you will probably not find it on the map!”

You can see the map from yesterday’s blog and see that the team is up valley from Shibuche on the Pasang Lhamu Trail. They sound like they are having a blast!
