Everest BC

Above, Kami extracts the last of three pizzas from our wonderful gas oven. We have fresh bread too, a pleasant luxury.

Our camp, the white and blue tents, and Everest – Chomolungma – behind.

 

Pizza! I promised not too many more Tom and food photos, but we did enjoy that first meal back at BC. Although we thought we felt good enough at ABC, 6400m, returning to the relatively thicker air, slightly more than 50% of the sea level oxygen (!), at 5150m, feels really good. Sleeping the night through unbroken. The trick is to exercise enough. The trouble is Phil and the team at Altitude Drunkies are good friends, enough said!

 

Today, our North Col and ABC trek teams arrived after a journey through Lhasa, and everyone is fit and healthy. We have had a great meal here, quite a change from the Chinese food and so everyone is also surprisingly comfortable at our homely BC.
