Everest Expedition Friends and Family Base Camp Trek Dispatch
April 5, 2013 – Enjoying Life at Everest Base Camp
The team at Everest Base Camp
A jumble of rock, ice and nylon, is extreme to say the least, but inviting all the same.
Everest was visible for much of our walk up the moraine into Base today.
The climbing team with the West Shoulder of Everest behind. The climbing Sherpas are: Arita, Dawa, Tsering and Tashi.
A spectacular setting. Right above Base Camp is the Lho La, the steep pass to Tibet. Changtse, the North summit of Everest is behind.
Our “Yoga Lounge” tent is one of the most popular places to hang out at Base Camp. Joanne and Ed enjoy a game of checkers on the Yoga Lounge on our first afternoon at Base Camp.
We have great neighbors at Base Camp this season; the docs at Base Camp E.R. are right next door.
