Kyshar Peak seen on the way to Thagnak (Eric Simonson)
The first views of Mera Peak from Khote (Eric SImonson)
Phunuru reports from Khote that the team are all doing well, with gorgeous weather. Today they hiked up from Khote to 13,000 feet for acclimatization, while Max and Mila took a rest day after their hike over Zwatra La. Tomorrow the whole team will be moving up to Thagnak. Along the way they have great views looking up towards Kyashar Peak (6770m) at the head of the Hinku Valley, and peekaboo views of Mera Peak, around the corner. All’s well!
