Lobuche rest day

Meeting some really interesting people on the trail to EBC. An eclectic mix of nationalities, backgrounds, goals and dreams. Kiwi’s, Brits, Nepalese, Italians, Russians, Germans and even a Bostonian (Not Canadian). Stopped off in Lobuche village to rest before starting our climb of Lobuche East tomorrow. When I say “rest” we still gained 300 meters by going up went up a hill behind the village. Lobuche East promises to be great fun as well as helping to acclimatize. Pics 1&2 Sumit and I at our high point today. Pic 3 Lobuche East summit hidden in cloud is our objective for the next couple of days. Pic 4 Himalayan Ascent Porters before the days carry. Pic 5 looking from our high point to the left of the glacier is EBC
