Hello all,
just a quick update from Dingboche (elevation 4,400m) this afternoon. We arrived here today after one night in Pangboche and one night in Phortse. We’ll rest up here tomorrow and then head up to Lobuche Base Camp on Thursday.
The team are doing well, especially considering that Jamie, Troy, Meri, Mel and Kerri are each setting new personal altitude records by the day! Caroline is enjoying being back here again, and Matt, well he’s just cruising, this his final of three overseas climbing trips this year! All members are now accounted for, with Angkaji, Chirring and Passang arriving from Monjo last night (in case you’re wondering, Monjo to Pangboche in one day is a pretty awesome achievement!). The weather has been startlingly clear, although this has meant some cold weather, and with that the risk of colds – a few of us are starting to display some cold-like symptoms but let’s hope all the berrocca we’ve been necking will help!
Until next time,
Pat
