Rhys climbed well today given he was suffering a pesty chest infection yesterday, which slowed his pace.
Many reported headaches tonight, so hopefully these will subside tomorrow. I will need to ensure that hydration within the team is at an acceptable level.
It's been hard managing a group of 13..! Typically the team are spread out at any given time. I will be requesting he front runners slow up from tomorrow. Meals are a different challenge again..! It's not uncommon for the team to order at least 10 different meals, a real nightmare for the single cook in the lodge. We are trying to now restrict our orders to a maximum of 2 different types of meals, but it doesn't always go smooth.
Tomorrow is our first acclimatisation day, so we will set out in the morning and climb to Everest View Hotel (3,800mts) then head back down to Namche for a 2nd night. This will be an approx 5-6 hr day.
Surprise packet today was Kevin. Climbed exceptionally well...!
Update tomorrow.
