They say the mountains are always full of surprises. Our surprise this morning was about two inches of fluffy, powdery snow -- with projections for more in days to come. Fortunately our camp is in broad open basin with no glaciers above. So no Avalanche risk. Advance groups on North Col are returning to base early which suggests that weather is pretty severe up above. In the interim, all glad we have good cook and warm food -- and lots of books and music on our iPads.
On April 17, John Rigney and Edmond Stevens depart on their most lofty adventure to date: to travel to Nepal and Tibet and to climb the North Col of Sagarmatha/Chomolungma...or as better known in the western world, Mount Everest. Watch for our regular post, pics, videos, and commentary as we attempt to follow the route of the early Everest pioneers up the Rongbuk glacier to the North Shoulder of the world's highest peak.
