Hello Everyone! This is the morning of the big night/day! Stephen and team are currently at Camp 4; today is their rest day there (they arrived there yesterday). I’ve been listenening to the radio communications between EBC and Camp 4…
Hi All! This is my second day at EBC and although there is not that much to do around here but sit around and take in the amazing scenery and read, it is fascinating to be a part of it…
Caroline made it to EBC. She did a big push from Loboche and pulled in just in time for lunch with the rest of the team. The team is now getting ready for our Summit Push. We are all a bit excited…
So yes, I did make it to Lukla as planned and am well on my way to EBC! Even better: Stephen’s expedition team is down from EBC to get stronger (and there are some weather delays) and I managed to…
So fingers crossed that the weather in Lukla is good enough for the flight to depart. If so, I will then immediately start my EBC Trek; first stop: Phakding. My guide and one porter are meeting me here in the…
I said goodbye to Pokhara and everyone at the Chhetri / 3Sisters Guesthouse this morning and flew to Kathmandu. I am comfortably checked-in to the ‘Yak and Yeti Hotel’. Will go for lunch now and then I’m off for some…
Glad to be back at EBC after our rotation up to Camp 3. Myself and the entire team are doing really well. The plan for the next week is to drop down the valley to thicker air where we can get stronger…
As promised a bit more on the last few days. As said I finished the Annapurna Circuit yesterday, May 3rd. Which means I did it in 15 days instead of the planned 18 days (and I wasn’t the only one;…
Hi Everyone, Just a quick one to let you know I have finished the Circuit yesterday, May 3rd, and am now resting in Pokhara for a few days. More news later today – have to go catch up with a…
Today we hiked from Jomsom to Kalapani. Around 10:30 we stopped in a place called Tukuche and I had the best apple pie on the Circuit in a genuine Dutch Bakery! Simply delicious – with a cup of real coffee!!!!!…
Hello all! Since I found a ‘cybercafe’ in Jomsom may as well post again! Hiked from Muktinath to Jomsom today and visited Kagbeni on the way. All is still going great! Thank you all for the comments and emails, Stephen…
Another rest day at EBC, but we have the schedule for the next rotation Signing out from a very hot EBC.
Another quiet day at EBC. Just hanging out. We are waiting on our schedule for the second rotation up the mountain which will be dependent on the weather. More to come. Signing out from a slightly overcast EBC.
I am comfortable in Muktinah after the biggest day of hiking; today was the highlight of the Circuit trek: Crossing the Thorung-La High Pass at 5416m. It was a hard day’s work but well worth it! Yesterday I made an…
Today we had our first real rest day. Every other “rest” day involved several hours of acclimatization hikes or training. But today, we walked to the bakery and generally just had a relaxing day. Signing out for a sunny EBC.
