Pumori Climbing Expedition Dispatch
October 30, 2009 – Memories of Our Trek to Pumori — Part 1
This is Leila Silveira reporting on my last day in Kathmandu. Before leaving I would like to share some special moments from our trekking team. I thought that images would be the best way to describe them.
So, here they are! I hope you will enjoy them!
We all received this message from Lama Geshi and I really would like to share with the world
For the trekking team, reaching Pumori Base camp was the goal
Jamie brought Aenea, a close friend since 5th grade, to join us for the trek. It was a pleasure having Aenea as a member of the team.
Magical moment being blessed by Lama Geshi
At the Himalayan Rescue Association Clinic Paul volunteered to go inside the Gamow Bag high altitude rescue device
