What’s up what’s up everyone? I’m back with another blog post for you today about our short, but really exhausting hike to the final camp before the Everest base camp! As I literally just said, today was only four hours instead of the proposed six, but it was all a ghastly uphill that made me die on the inside. It was very exhausting people and I had to rest constantly due to the massive uphill. Anyways, my day started off by me miserably getting dressed and putting on my wet socks. It was hard and exhausting, but I did it and after breakfast, we hiked up the mountain. The hike up was entirely uphill and the terrain was very rocky, meaning that I had to use extra energy to climb up. Personally, it was very hard due to the fact that my breath kept running out and I nearly collapsed from exhaustion. We climbed on an extremely uneven surface uphill after eating a nice lunch and it felt dead by the time we got up. There was a memorial for all the dead people who died on Everest that was very sad to look at. I honored them all for their bravery and felt very bad for them. We reached our camp, Loche, thirty minutes later and after playing UNO and chatting for a long time, we had a nice dinner and went to bed in the cold night and prepared for the life-changing moment tomorrow.
A very motivational poster we saw at lunch.
The memorial to Rob Hall, a guide who died in 1996 getting his expedition up to the Everest Summit.
