The Everest Climbing Team is at base camp enjoying the transition time between the first and final acclimatization rotations to prepare for the mountain. Around a week ago the team summited 6,119 meter Lobuche East, as the first rotation to prepare.
Now the team is on a rest break that doubles as a training time to prepare for the longer foray up on Everest itself, in which the climbers will sleep in Camp One, several days in Camp Two, and go as high as reaching Camp Three at an altitude of 7200 meters. Then they will descend back to base camp for a rest prior to the eventual summit push.
Everyone is doing well and ready to climb! More updates from the trip up the hill!
