We have arrived in Khunde. Urkin Sherpa showed us a local trail that was nothing short of a National Geographic adventure. The trail was pioneered by his great grandfather and only locals use it between Namche and Dole. We all had a great time.
The trekkers are on their way home and the climbers on to base camp and we are all a little sad to split up. We all have had fun. Christo Corzatte said "This was one of the most challenging yet one of the most rewarding things I have ever done".
Bob Stier says "The peaks are amazing, of course, but I have been so struck by the small things we have encountered. Exotic birds, baby yaks, wild flowers, and wonderful people."
Carter, David, and I leave for BC tomorrow over a secret pass out of Khunde. Usually it takes 2 days from Namche. Our new route will take 6 hours from Namche.
Photos and blogs after our return. Love to you all.
