I love reading this series of posts – it brings back memories of the mid-winter camping I used to do while living in Colorado – not anywhere near the same altitude as where you’re at, but still cold and exhausting (just trying to stay warm takes so much energy!) but breathtakingly beautiful all the same.

Like you guys, I can’t make it through the night without at least one trip to the toilet, but I always had a container in the tent for those calls-of-nature, since I hate walking about in the dark, even with a headlamp (too many horror movies while I was growing up). But I know that isn’t always possible when you’re packing for such a lengthy trip – every ounce counts, so compromises must be made.

As usual, great photos!

So some people even get sick just trying to make it to base camp? Crazy stuff. So I wonder how the trek would be like in July? .-= Shawn´s last blog ..Travel Blog Spotlight: The PlanetD! =-.

You guys are amazing. 9 days without a shower – yikes. It is amazing how cold it gets up there. Good luck!

Thanks for another look into your great climb. Seems like you're having the time of your life, even though you have to brave the cold nights and icy toilets. I hope you can manage to keep ahead of the crowds. Good luck! .-= Maria Staal´s last blog ..The Romans Set the Stage =-.

I can't even imagine the cold, growng up in mostly tropical places, I am the most afraid of cold weather. Glad the trail has cured you of the gnarly heights on the path! .-= Migration Mark´s last blog ..Rules of Engorgement Saturday: Nasi Berlauk, Malaysia =-.

Great update! Tengboche is wonderful, although they don't tell you how steep the approach is. Stay hydrated and warm! .-= Alan´s last blog ..No Regrets: Renaissance Living and a Bucket List =-.
