Ang Temba leaves us a few photos and a brief report each day. The trip is going great. Temba's one comment yesterday was "Adriana is very strong"!
Yes they made it to Base Camp on October 25th. It was beautiful. This morning, Saturday, the 26th, Temba reports that he and Adriana and the porters are on the way up Kala Patar, at 5,643 meters. This will be the high point of their trek!
