EBC from the lookout (Greg Vernovage)
Sonam Dorje Sherpa checked in from EBC this morning to let us know the Team is having a beautiful day. They were up early and took a very leisurely trek to EBC from Gorakshep. Today is a nice day of trekking with very little vertical gain but can be challenging with the trail and rock hoping as they get closer to EBC. Our Sherpa Team planned a slow and conservative trek today to allow everyone enough time to make it to EBC and feel good getting there! 100% of the team made it to EBC and the Sherpa Guides packed a nice lunch and some hot drinks so everyone could eat and drink along the way.

The Team is now back to Gorakshep and will rest the remainder of the day before heading down valley to Pheriche in the morning. Congratulations to our December Trekking Team on making it to EBC and bringing great weather with them!
All is well and Happy Holidays from the Khumbu Valley!
