Amazing views of Everest & the Khumbu Glacier from Kala Pattar. (Tye Chapman)
The 3×3 team is moving right along! Instead of a rest day in Chukkung yesterday they opted to head up and over Khongma La Pass and down to Lobuche. They followed that up with a climb of Kalapattar today. So, if you’re doing the math they’ve knocked out 2 of the 3 peaks (Chukkung Ri & Kalapattar) and 1 of the passes (Khongma La). They’ll stay in Gorakshep tonight and will head to Dzongla tomorrow. Dzongla is a small village that sits at the base of Cho La Pass, their next big objective.
