Update:
Hello Everyone!
It's a beautiful day here at
base camp. Eric, Ray, Dean and Willie went to camp 1 to sleep tonight. Our
Sherpas also headed up today to bring more equipment up to camp 1. Kay woke
up with the "Khumbu cough" this morning, so her and I will go down valley for
a few days to get rid of it. The cough will only go away if she goes down to
recover than up.
Joe Bonner is leaving our
group today due to personal reasons. We were all sad to see him leave.
Talk to everyone when we
return from Dingbouche!
Christine

weather, high altitude double boot for extreme conditions The Olympus
Mons is the perfect choice for 8000-meter peaks. This super lightweight
double boot has a PE thermal insulating inner boot that is coupled with
a thermo-reflective outer boot with an integrated gaiter. We used a
super insulating lightweight PE outsole to keep the weight down and the
TPU midsole is excellent for crampon compatibility and stability on
