Scotland, Tibet. While Christine, Erin, Sonam and I stayed behind at Camp Mango, the rest of the team headed out for Camp Teacup, not far from Everest’s East Side Base Camp beneath the Kangshung Face. The weather looks like it’s going to be amazing and I’m very excited for all of us. The team heading [...]

It’s Not Just A Metaphor. The Kangshung region around Everest truly has some of the most remarkable campsites I’ve ever experienced. The one we’re at for tonight is grassy and flat with a little trickle of a stream running through the middle of it. Beautiful. We were supposed to be spending a rest day here [...]

Uniquely Something Special. We finished our beautiful day of trekking towards Everest’s Kangshung Face by descending into an amazing campsite. Tonight our little backcountry village has been set up in a stunning alpine cirque at the shore of a small glacial lake.
