Every year everything is more reliable, more thoughtful, with greater convenience, with care for the rest and recovery of the climbers. The 7 Summits Club Base Camp is traditionally considered a benchmark and the envy of other expedition participants. And we do not stop, we work and work, we improve and perfect. Our Sherpas in Kathmandu received new tents for the base camp. They are an order of magnitude larger and more comfortable than last year's. They will have full-size beds. We have no doubt that we will surprise the expedition participants with the comfort of the base camp.
