Nepal Team Hits Higher Altitudes

9 May 2013 -

Everest Nepal, Lhotse, Camp 3 Training Climb, Basecamp Trek.

Greetings to all friends and family of SummitClimb and SummitTrek and the Mount Everest Foundation. We are pleased to inform everyone that our our Lhotse, Everest, and First Camp 3 Training Climb Team have achieved their objectives (sleeping in camp 3 at approximately 7100 metres (23,300 feet). Now the team members are down resting in basecamp, and some relaxation seeking members have even gone to lower villages below basecamp, such as the beautiful Pheriche Village.
Amazingly, our member Anne-Mari has decided she wants to go up to camp 2 and help our hard working Sherpas carry loads of oxygen, tents and food up to the high camp! Speaking of camp 2, our second Everest Camp 3 Training climb is in camp 2, and we are resting and preparing to go to camp 3.
