A couple of updates from the Hinku Valley. Our Private Island Peak/Mera Peak trip is in position to summit Mera Peak. The team is tucked in at High Camp and will be up and heading for the summit in a few hours. The team is feeling great and we are expecting a great day to summit.

Down Valley, our Mera Peak Express climb is moving up the valley to Thagnak (14,300’). They enjoyed a great day of trekking yesterday and are now surrounded by high mountain walls on either side. Tomorrow, the team will take an acclimatization hike and take in views of the amazing glacial lakes.

All is well in the Hinku Valley!
