Memory for life  Sucess!

Cold as hell, but worth the view in the morning, watching the sun rise over Mount Everest.

Just wow  Sucess!

Got to the top to watch the sunrise on everest with my guide Dilman. It was easier than expected, as I was well acclimatized.

Normal Route and Everest base Camp in A day.  Sucess!

Left from Lobuje and headed up to Kala Patthaar without a tour, so no waiting!!
Sunny and feeling good, went and did Everest Base Camp and hike down to Lobuje in a snow storm. Weather changes very fast!!

Climbed Kala Pathar whilst acclimatising for Imja Tse   Sucess!

It was a clear and beautiful day. Started early from Gorak Shep. Reached the summit after about two hours. Was a bit crowded on the top but then again it was peak trekking season!

Three Passes  Sucess!

Everest doesn't look that impressive from the top. Tibet IS the better place for that :)

up and down up and down  Sucess!

Climbed it around noon when I arrived to base camp b/c it was clear and I wanted to make sure I saw everest. Came down for some food and then went back up to watch the amazing sunset and have a couple very ice cold Everest beers. Then climbed it in the dark in the morning to see the sunrise. Couldn't get enough of the views

Beat the crowds  Sucess!

I took the bus from Kathmandu to Jiri then walked to Everest Base Camp. Arriving with good acclimatization meant I was able to beat other trekkers on the way up and had Kala Pataar all to myself for a decent amount of time. The weather was great in March: clear skies in the morning and cumulonimbus later on. Not crowded at all outside of the main corridor. I was most often alone on the passes and side trips. Same goes for AC & ABC in April.

Late start, better views  Sucess!

Left around 6-7AM, and heard from the early risers that our late start was the better choice. Any earlier and Everest would have been a silhouette, and the air biterly cold. Sun came out 1/3 of the way up, and we were stripping layers quickly. After a faint spell due to climbing too quickly, we slowed down and the rest felt like a breeze. Scrambled to the tip of the summit block, per gimpilator's persistence. Incredible views, specifically of Pumori. A small bird sang to us from the top!
