Merry Christmas from the Khumbu!!!
We like hiking, but we love climbing.
Behind us a beautiful 2 and half days trekking up to the Cho la Pass at 5400m, scenic views to all this beautiful mountains like Ama Dablam, Cholatse and the Everest. We feel well acclimatized for the Kwangde Lho. Since the ice did not appear as good, as we expected on any of this great mountains, we decided on our original objective.
With hurting legs and positive expectations to our trip, we celebrated Christmas last night in Namche, with Speck from Germany and a “yak cream cheese rum cake” from the staff.
Today is our final departure to the base camp near Thame. We understand the difficulties ahead, but we are looking forward to putting forth our best effort to climb a new route on the Kwangde Lho North Face. The weather is beautiful and the cold temperatures did arrived, brrrrrr.
You will get more information from the team in a couple of days.
A Special huge hug to the Manu and a Kiss from your mum.
