The Everest season is all but finished, certainly for Himex anyway, and Ross, Jacob and myself are back safely in our respective countries and adjusting back to normal life, breathing normal air and sleeping in normal beds – it sounds like it should be straightforward but I certainly find myself staring up at the planes in the sky remembering when I was standing up that high!
Hi All
News is has been coming in thick and fast hence the combined update rather than back to back email alerts!
Hi All
Three nights ago there was a large thunder and lighting storm that past over much of Nepal, although very spectacular, and cleared all the pollution from Kathmandu it also struck one of the 77 repeater towers that enable EverestLink wifi at EBC. Of course some of these towers are quite remote, so it takes time to repair. So that is why there has been no updates from BC.
Welcome to a special edition of the Daily Moraine where we will be taking a look at a topic that often fascinates people ‘on the outside’ and that is FOOD.
So, what have we been up to since we last posted? Well, we have potentially done a world first (totally unofficial so don’t quote me on this at all) by naming a new obscure trail the “W” which involved walking from EBC up to Pumori camp 1, then across to the ‘mini’ Kala Patthar and then up to the ‘main’ Kala Patthar….quite a walk which took us just under 5.5 hours including a quick stop in Gorak Shep to recharge.
Hello to all!
Apologies for the silence emanating from us here at Himex, but as you can see we’ve been working on getting a brand new site developed and built, and as with all things technical it has taken a little longer than planned, and so we’ve been unable to post any newsletters from the current expedition, but hopefully we are now fully up and running.
So, what’s been going on?
