Our first glimpse of Everest
April 3rd, 2010 . by adminOur rest day turned in to a restless day so we decided to go on a bit of an acclimatisation trek up the hill from Namche. From here we got a great view of Ama Dablam, Everest and Nuptse. I couldn’t believe how bare Everest and the Nuptse wall looked compared to the last two times I was here. There’s hardly any snow on the summit ridge from what we can see! I haven’t spoken to any of the pros yet, but I think this is going to make it technically more difficult than we’d anticipated but perhaps the risk of major avalanche will be reduced.

That’s a gorgeous picture of you. Love, Mummy x
