Hiked up to the pass of Satu La at 3173m in the rain, thunder and lightening right above our heads- steep, slippery and narrow especially near the peak. I went ahead and found myself scared alone, when the clouds moved in on me with the thundering at ... Read more >

Saturday May 3rd
It blows my mind again to realize where I am……We are staying in a little Sherpa village named Najimgdimgma. We got here descending and ascending through steep, steep rocks and forests. It hailed and rained on us then it cleared again ... Read more >

Short day today- good!! Tomorrow the countdown can start to the life I know. I like the short walks, even if it includes some steep up and downs.

We left well rested and fed – on the way out we were addressed by a Sherpa in a panic – he gestured us to come inside the house on the side of the trail communicating in some way that he needed medicine for his friend.

….but didn’t sleep as well as I hoped for - oh well! We walked out of the Sagarmatha National Park and made it all the way to Mushe, our goal to stay in the same lodge we stayed on the way up, the Danfe Lodge. It was a hard day again and my knees ... Read more >

they were good, real good. I tell you, when you get really hungry, even if you

Sleeping
in high altitude is a challenge – everybody here is tossing and turning through
the night, but I must have slept, because I woke up to bright sunlight – ready to

I had
somewhat of a restless night (another symptom of high altitude…). We go to
sleep here around 8pm and we don’t get up until 7 or 8am – our bedtime is

The
15 th day of the trek – we got up too early. Our hosts didn’t get up and we had to wait

This
is cold, cold, cold. Glad, I bought a really good sleeping bag before I left
CA. The trick is now not to have to go pee at night at the same time it is
