Camp 2 on Ama Dablam (Austin Shannon)
The 3X3 Team had a nice day enjoying the Gokyo Valley and taking a short hike towards 5th Lake today. When the weather is beautiful it is difficult to sit still…until the sun hits the lodge window and warms you up! Some of our members elected to rest in the lodge in Gokyo while others chose to take a short hike towards 5th Lake. The team is doing great and is ready to take on Renjo La in the morning.
Gokyo Village (Ang Jangbu Sherpa)
Our Ama Dablam Team is at Base Camp and is doing their job by eating, sleeping, and preparing for the summit rotation. We will be keeping our eyes on the weather forecast and making plans to head up the mountain in a couple more days.
Our Lobuche Peak Team was on the move today. The Team departed Lobuche Base Camp after taking a rest day and made great time over Cho La Pass. The team is now in Thagnak and will have a short day trekking to Gokyo in the morning.
All is well in the Gokyo and Khumbu Valleys!
