We received some exciting news from Ang Jangbu and Phunuru last week! IMG Senior Guide and Khumbu Climbing Center Director Phunuru Sherpa checked in to let us know that 62 students attended the Khumbu Climbing Center’s training facility. The students covered many important skills necessary for climbing and guiding in the Himalayas. The hands on training grounds, located just a short walk up from Phortse Thanga is a beautiful playground with perfect ice for climbing for all levels of skill.

Ang Jangbu also checked in after receiving word from Ang Karma and Sonam Tashi that our 2022 Everest Base Camp has been reserved. Ang Karma said that there is a lot of snow below Lobuche Village right now but still rather dry trekking into Base Camp. The IMG Base Camp will be in the same place again this year as the past several years allowing for quality water for our team.
