What a gorgeous couple of days in the Khumbu Valley! Our Ama Dablam Team had a Puja at Base Camp and then packed up for their first rotation on Ama Dablam. The plan is for the team to sleep at Yak Camp tonight and hen head up to Camp 1. Phunuru and Sherpa Fura went up to Yak Camp and found the need to bring water up for the team. With the help of yaks, they brought water up for cooking and drinking. The team is in great form and ready to climb.

Harry Hamlin checked in after going over Cho La. He managed to get some photos out of the team as they crossed the pass. Harry said the route was in good condition, and the team performed very well. Look at those photos!
