Pictured. The team 1/2 way up the Namche climb. Beautiful view of Everest at this point, although not captured in the above photo (Mingma is a great guide but lousy photographer).
It was a huge day today. We left Tok Tok at 8.30am this morning and had a pleasant walk along the river. Quite a few ups and downs kept the heart rates up.
We commenced the climb to Namche at 1pm. Two things impress me about this trek group. (1) They each maintain a consistant trek pace and (2) they all trek together as a group!! The entire team completed the climb exceptionally well arriving at 4pm. Several tired bodies as I write this. A few about to climb into their sleeping bags. Tomorrow up to Everest View Hotel.
Great to hear the ABC team are going well.
For those who have been here before and met Mingma's family, we have been privileged with having his beautiful 15yo daughter as one of our porters (just carrying 1 bag).
