Phereche to Base Camp

admin   |   7Summits, Mount Everest   |   1 Comment

After our second rest day at base camp we were all strong and headed to Leboche. The trek was steady for the first bit and then a huge incline to the memorial of the people who died while attempting Everest.

This time was different than 4 years ago, I felt different like those people were here to climb the same mountain, they all had plans, families, and things to go back to, unfortunately they didn’t. We could help it but be emotional there.

We spent the night at Leboche, nearly 5,000m good thing we all felt well to head to base camp today. We all made it, strong and healthy this will be our home for the next month or so. Sadly we had to say goodbye to 3 of our friends Ali, Ziad, and Nazim. They saw us off at base camp and headed back down, we will truly miss them.

For now it’s time to rest and organize our gear

    Dear Moe,

    I try to follow your posts every day, because this is an amazing adventure that you are undertaking.

    I wish you courage, good luck and strength in climbing the Everest.
    You have taken the most difficult step a long time ago. That was when you decided on attempting to climb that majestic mountain. So now it’s just like the slogan; Just Do It.

    Be careful out there, because I want to ride another Gumball with you and your friends,

    Best regards form the Netherlands,
    Rienk
