A lot of good stuff is happening this weekend so I thought I would let everyone know how our Teams are doing in the Khumbu Valley.<\/p>\n
First up: The 2X2\/3X3 Teams trekked to the summit of Kala Pattar!\u00c2\u00a0 Harry and the Team woke early to beat the crowd and take advantage of the great weather they have been having.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cool\u00e2\u20ac\u009d trek in a few ways.\u00c2\u00a0 They left Gorakshep with a couple extra layers on and slowly made their way to the summit of the legendary peak of Kala Pattar (18,192 ft).\u00c2\u00a0 After their summit, the Teams made their way back down to Gorakshep for lunch before continuing down and around\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Down and around means the 2X2 traversed around the lower hill of Lobuche to Base Camp to set themselves up for the Lobuche Peak Climb.\u00c2\u00a0 They were met by LONG time Sherpa Guide Dawa.\u00c2\u00a0 The 3X3 Team continued around Lobuche Peak to a very small village called Dzongla.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a two lodge town where our Trekking Team can get a bit of rest.\u00c2\u00a0 They are heading for the trail less traveled now.<\/p>\n
