The 3 x 3 Team had a great day of training at Lobuche Base Camp (15,500 ft) today! After a few days of great trekking, it is nice to have a casual morning to sort through gear and prepare for the climb.
On the agenda for the active rest day, pulling out the climbing equipment and rigging the harnesses. Lobuche Base Camp is a great place to spread out your gear. Once the harnesses are rigged, the team will do a refresher course on the fixed line.
Tomorrow, the team will take a short hike up to High Camp, get an early dinner and climb into their sleeping bags for a bit…an early wake-up call will surly be in order!
