Everest expeditions. First day at the Base camp.

Everest, all programs »
April 14 - our first full day at the Base Camp (5300m).
Last night we fell asleep to periodic rumble of rock and ice from surrounding slopes. While the slopes are a safe distance away, the sound of the rumble was still drammatic. We spent the night in our brand new tents (each group member has his/her own).
Today was rest and acclimatization day. Our equipment was checked prior to incursion to Kumbu Ice Fall, which is planned for tomorrow.
