The Mera Peak Team had a great weekend moving into Khare (16,404 ft /5000 m) and training for their upcoming climb. It has been cool and clear for the Team. The trek up the Hinku Valley is quite a bit quieter than the Khumbu Valley. Gaining elevation to acclimatize can find the Team sitting by themselves, taking in the magnificent views. Tomorrow, they will move to Mera la and get into position for their climb!
