Left Namche this morning 8am. Heavy cloud and snowing. Snowed all day, fortunately not heavy.
Nicole found another gear and went well this morning. Climb to Tengboche 3800mtrs slowed the team down, particularly in deep snow and ice. Arrive in Deboche 4pm and zero deg.
Old Codgers still going very well, even getting cocky.
Up over the 4000mtrs mark tomorrow.

Google Maps are pretty hopeless for following the trek but this address,
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=27.852&lon=86.7934&zoom=13&layers=M
will show the area in OpenStreetMap.
Walking up and over the Tengboche ridge is a hard day but the next couple of days will be a little easier for the team. There is still altitude gain to contend with but the weather should improve with clear sunny days ahead.
