We received a few great photos from the 3X2 and Ama Dablam Team. I have already said it but will let the photos tell you how much fun these two teams are having on the trip. The Ama Dablam Team trekked to Ama Dablam Base Camp (15,000’) from Chukkung. This is a mellow trekking day and the team found themselves at Ama Dablam Base Camp just in time for lunch. They were welcomed by IMG Guides Phunuru Sherpa and Fura Sherpa. Camp is set up and we are ready for the team to start doing some climbing!
Back at Chukkung, the 3X2 Team took a well-deserved rest day after climbing Chukkung Ri (18,238’). The rest day is important because tomorrow is a high altitude trek across Khongma La (18,320’) and into Lobuche Village. The trek tomorrow over Khongma La is without a doubt, one of the more picturesque days of the entire trip!
