\n\t\t\t\tTeam looking solid on the trail (Phunuru Sherpa)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nReaching high camp is always exciting, regardless of the expedition.\u00c2\u00a0 You know that it’s now ‘Game Time’!\u00c2\u00a0 The months of training, the work of putting your kit of personal equipment together, the travel to East Africa and meeting the Chagga, not to mention the thrill of having one of the most active and successful IMG Sherpa guides (too many 8000 m summits to remember) at the helm when you arrive.\u00c2\u00a0 Phunuru flew from Kathmandu at Christmas to climb with this team, as he does often.\u00c2\u00a0 Christmas on the mountain, New Year’s on safari…..it’s almost too much.<\/p>\n
And now you’re at high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 The grunt work is done and you’re anxious to get started for the summit.\u00c2\u00a0 Our 7 day climb itinerary allows us to get to high camp early and with only a short hiking day.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of time to prep, pack, eat and rest (as much as is possible).\u00c2\u00a0 The weather is good and start time will come early.\u00c2\u00a0 Butterflies in your stomach? A bunch!\u00c2\u00a0 “Put me in, coach”.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s game day and you’re ready.<\/p>\n
We won’t wish them luck,\u00c2\u00a0 don’t think they’ll need it.\u00c2\u00a0 We know they’ll finish strong, make good decisions and look after one another.\u00c2\u00a0 That goes for the Chagga, Phunuru and all team members.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll be checking messages early for news of a safe, successful and enjoyable summit.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m excited for them!<\/p>\n
