Hi guys. Am back in Kathmandu after an unreal 13 day trek in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp, and climbing Kala Pattar to watch the sunrise over Everest. Will post some pics after I get home Thursday.
Just in time for the Halloween OWC as well! |

Hey, congrats on a job well done, mate! What a feat. Speaking of, how are those feet of yours? Looking forward to seeing the pics. No doubt the denim cut-offs were left at home. |

Lol Lib. I wore shorts for the first 5 days then wore some cool trek pants I bought. Feet were fine though I stubbed my toe descending Kala Pattar and it hurt all the way back to Lukla. May lose the nail but all good lol
Wearing the cutoffs now! They missed me |

Glad Yeti didn't get you, bro.
We definitely want pics, but you can hold onto the pics of your nastyass feet and we probably don't need to see the 80's denim cutoffs, either.
Welcome back!!! |

The trek was to Base Camp, Pia. We all made it. Then you climb Kala Pattar the next morn for Everest sunrise (temp was minus 10 C). Then we start trekking back down

Lib, if you were on Facebook you would see a million pics I took plus some epic vids!
I took a vid coming back down Kala Pattar and the sun is peeking up behind one side of Everest and I zoom right in. It's unreal |

https://youtu.be/_5FH0gGhWmISome footage I shot every now and then on the trek using an Intova SP1 - like a Go Pro. Didn't edit or anything just adjusted the sound which is dodgy cos of the tiny speaker the camera has. |
