Rest break on the climb to Thengboche We left the creature comforts of Namche this morning (we all had a beaut coffee prior to departure) and are now in Deboche @ 3,800mts. The day was absolutely beautiful with not a cloud in the sky as we hiked under the view of Everest. There were several on the trail this morning, probably the result of the cancelled flights earlier in the week.
The Thengboche climb was slow but steady. By the time we had reached the top, the clouds had came in and the temperature dropped significantly.
We are now sitting around an excellent warm fire. The temp outside is 0 and there is cloud rolling in. It's going to be a cold night. Reports from those coming down from Base Camp has temperatures reported down to minus 15-20..!!!
Tomorrow, we head up to the first of our high camps, Dingboche at 4,400mts amsl. Edging closer and closer to Base Camp.
