It’s My Show, I Can Do What I Want! All rested up, we left our camp this morning and headed out to make more progress towards Everest’s Kangshung Face. This trek has already shown us several surprises. The most striking surprise has been the absolute absence of people besides our group. We’re on our own [...]

Sleeping The Sleep Of The Just. The Just Plain Tired. Our first full day trekking towards Everest’s Kangshung Face was epic and exhausting so we were treated today to some much deserved rest. Apparently we were never meant to walk as far as we did yesterday but unfortunately the planned campsite didn’t have a usable [...]

I’ve Been Trekkin’ All Night, My Foot’s Wet On The Hill. We had our first full day of trekking towards Everest’s Kangshung Face today. When you begin a trek, the staff usually lulls you into a false sense of comfort by only making you walk a short distance to the first backcountry camp. This is [...]

The Trek Begins. The trek officially started today with a nice hike to our first backcountry camping site. I’m excited to see just how different this east side of Everest is since very few tourists visit this part of Tibet. Right away it became clear that we are in a very different world from the [...]
