Description

I spent 3 weeks trekking solo from Jiri to everest base camp and Kala patthar. This included the Renjo pass (5360m), Gyazumba Tsho peak (5419), Cho La pass (5368m), Everest base camp (5364m), Kala Patthar (5550m) and the Thokla pass (5535m). On two occasions that involved breaking trail through waist height snow (Cho La pass and Gyazumba Tsho). The weather the day I climbed Kala Patthar was amazing. Clear blue skies treated me to the most magnificent views as the sunrose behind Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. It is a memory that will never fade as I fulfilled one of my dreams in life. The view of Ama Dablam from Dingboche was also amazing. Another Dream of mine is to go back and climb Ama Dablam one day.
