Climb for Kid’s Sake Day 13: Khumbu Glacier

Today we walked up onto the Khumbu Glacier!  The lateral moraine of this famous glacier is visible as we walk out of Pheriche.  Check out this video of this windy glacier!  We’re hiking only short distances now and very slowly.  We can actually feel the air getting thinner!  We had a tea break and lunch at Tukla. 

 

 

 

 

In the early afternoon we climb the moraine past the chortens that have been constructed for Sherpas lost in expeditions over the years.  Cholote Peak and Laboche Peak loom above.  Our destination is Loboche at 15,800 ft. 

 

I’m climbing to Everest Base Camp to raise money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters.  This would not have been possible without the support of my clients and generous sponsors, particularly Homes Alive Pet Center and Lee Mein of the Canadian Martial Arts Center.  A BIG thank to you for stepping up to support this very worthy cause.
