Taking in Base Camp
Today has dawned beautiful and clear after snow overnight. Apparently the team at Camp One were hammered with strong winds and snow but down here all is peaceful. I have just had tsampa porridge for breakfast and we videoed the first ever Everest BC Masterchef performance by our cook Dendi. He did a great job of demonstrating how the barley flour is skillfully mixed with milk tea and butter! More to come on that one.
Today I will be catching up with Sharon Coyrs from Australia. She is raising money for breast cancer through her Everest climb and has just come back from a successful trip up to Camp One and the Western Cwm. She is probably the smallest woman on the mountain but has the biggest personality!
She is great and I will get some video footage of her fresh back from the very challenging trip through the Icefall (also known as the "dragons lair").
So today is my last full day in Everest Base Camp. Tomorrow I will set off back down the valley and in a few days time I will be in touch from Namche Bazaar.
Wishing you a life of adventure and inspiration.
