- 3X2 Team above Gokyo (Mary Hannon)
The 3X2 Team continues to have a great trip with fantastic weather. They are now in Gokyo and will be visiting Fifth Lake and climbing Gokyo Ri in the morning before heading down valley to Machermo for the night. This day of trekking is very scenic for the team. In Gokyo, they are still above the tree line and by the evening, they will be dropping back into beautiful vegetation and thicker air.

- Views from Camp 2 on Ama Dablam (Kevin Kayl)
On Ama Dablam, the team is on their 2nd rest day. Tomorrow, the plan is to stretch their legs by heading down to Pangboche for the day. A little change of scenery and a nice lodge is just enough to keep the team busy. We are keeping our eye on the weather for this team. At the moment, there is very little precipitation in the forecast but we are seeing a few days of higher winds. This team has great patience and will be able to hold out for a few more days when the wind is predicted to decrease.
All is well in the Khumbu Valley!
