After a long hike from Duglha where we hiked through Lobuche and got our first glimpse of Kala Patthar, we hit 17,594 ft! Beautiful sites and what a GREAT experience. We walked and walked and walked until we reached Gorak Shep. We have great rooms, in comparison to where we have been. The toilets are something to see and impossible to describe. Last night, just before going to bed my head lamp fell off my head and fell into the toilet!!! I spent most of the night disinfecting it. The only good thing was the toilet had its own glacier in it as it had frozen over, however, it still hit the ice. Rescue it or let it drown! Well, I need it so I rescued it (ooooooo!). After a brief lunch today we hit the trail to Base Camp. Over two hours later, walking over lots of ice, in the snow, mainly uphill on icy trails we finally reached our goal BASE CAMP. Wow was it cold, we all bundled up in our parkas and everything else we could put our hands on as it was probably below zero as we started the trek today!
The entire team made it today. We hugged, cried, rested, took many pictures and then headed back to Gorak Shep for dinner and a good nights rest. Tomorrow we wake early and head to Kala Patthar to watch the sun rise over this blessed land!
I tell you, God truly created a beautiful and inspiring place that we call Mt. Everest. I am the luckiest man on earth to be able to be here today!
As always, NAMASTE!
