- Sunset on Everest (Eric Simonson)
Phunuru called by Sat Phone from the summit of Mera Peak (21,198 ft / 6,461 m) early this morning! The Team left Mera La right on schedule and had a great climb of Mera Peak. The climb takes a gentle incline for the majority of the route. Near the summit, we take our time and work up the steeper slopes to take in the incredible views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kangchenjunga. Tomorrow the Team will trek back down valley to Thagnak and get ready to catch a helicopter! Congratulations everyone on a great climb and summit of Mera Peak!
