Eric and the Mera Team are back in Kathmandu after a great trek and climb. Up the Hinku Valley to Mera La and then turn and get the summit.
Summit day was a long one for the team as they decided to bypass High Camp and go straight to the summit and back. One of the reasons was that the clouds were forecasted with some precipitation. They got the summit and were rewarded on their return with an extraordinary view of Everest at sunset.
