Rest Day in Dingboche

Today was a rest day to assist acclimatisation to the altitude. We’re staying at 14,500 feet and this morning we climbed through rain up to 15,750 feet, well into the snow line.

We had hoped to climb further but the route became covered in snow and further climbing would have been dangerous. We were in cloud for most of the climb up and back and did not take photos. Sorry.

Tomorrow we’re off again, hopefully to reach Chukhung, leave our gear at the tea house and climb 17,400 feet up Chukhung Ri. Chukhung is one of the highest villages in the world.

The weather forecast is adverse for our route.

Good job we are hard as nails!

Night night.
