We made it to Everest Base Camp (EBC)!

We met with the Mountain Trip Mount Everest team and ate lunch in EBC earlier today. We want to thank Scott Woolums and all of the Sherpa crew for making us feel so at home!

We are now back at Gorak Shep waiting for dinner and and well deserved rest. Tomorrow we are heading back down to the thicker air of Pheriche and staying at local Mountain Trip guide Sonam’s lodge. There we will get organized for our climb of Island Peak and the following day we will head to Chhukung, the last village before heading to Island Peak base camp. We will post again soon.

Until then here is a photo of us in EBC. Left to right: Monoj Vora, Ben Henson, Scott Woolums, Stuart Graves, Tom Henson, Joe Butler
