Expedition to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes with an extension for Lobuche East & Island Peak. Leading 12 clients working with an assistant leader, local guides and porters. Coaching in self-care in the mountains, nutrition & hydration, dealing with altitude, movement skills, packing rucksacks and the full range of skills necessary for the mountains and Nepal.
Day 9. Thagnak to Dzongla via Cho La 5420m. Another big push by the team but a fantastic day in some fine dramatic mountain terrain. Used micro spikes descending the small glacier on the eastern side of the pass. Lots of pace management as some people were struggling with Khumbu cough making breathing difficult.
