EVEREST

…and just like that it happens!!

When the ‘go’ button is hit the whole expedition becomes a whirlwind.

The team summited Everest at approx 04.30 in the morning of the 15th May.

This was after one of the most spectacular climbs I’ve had on Everest. The almost full moon, glistening stars and cloudless sky provided the backdrop.

Meanwhile the climax was watching the sun break the horizon as we stepped onto the top giving us unforgettable light…

It’s summit 16 for me, a record of sorts but really it’s not about that, it’s a celebration of team work, dedication and passion.

I’d like thank all the crew but especially the following sherpa team without whom non of this could happen….

Dorje Gyaljen Sherpa
Chjewang Dorje Sherpa
Cheten Dorje Sherpa
Kami Ritha Sherpa
Jangbu Sherpa

They are all rockstars!!

Shout out to @eliasaikaly for images, @sherpapk for support, @rebeccalouisefitness for bringing it all together and @luke_wren.

As we all process what just happened I’ll update more, but for now thank you all for being part of the journey!!

The team had a look and turned round due to the conditions.

The plan is to try again tomorrow.

#EVEREST16

The time has come when we need to look upwards and consider a summit attempt.

The team has rested down the valley in Namche, the thicker air allowing our bodies to recover from the rigours of the rotation to Camp 3.

The Sherpas have worked super hard on our behalf (they really are the superhero’s of the mountain) and the logistics are all in place.

Finally the fixing team of Sherpas reached the summit at 18.55 last night (very late) thus opening the mountain for the teams at BC. It should be noted that the fixing team all made it down to C4 safely despite the lateness of the summit!!

So we have no more excuses to delay, the weather looks good, we are primed….it’s time to climb!!

~ Everest16 ~

The acclimatisation rotation on Everest is done and now it’s rest time.

The team spent 5 nights high on the mountain letting our bodies adjust to the altitude. It wasn’t easy, we all suffered at some point from the harsh environment but we got through it!

We touched 7000m on the Lhotse face before returning to Basecamp and a well earned rest!

This image by @terraysylvester shows the magnificently positioned Camp 1 perch at the very top of the notorious Khumbu Icefall were we spent the first night!
