Apa Sherpa arrives at base camp
As I’ve mentioned before, Apa was running all over the Khumbu Region of Nepal before he could make it up to the Mount Everest Base Camp on April 18. He covered a massive amount of territory meeting family, getting blessings, posing for photographs and meeting with the Himalayan Trust.
“Every time we go (up Mount Everest) we need to make sure that the gods are happy and that the family is happy, too.”
Now Apa is finally here, the fun really begins. We will hold our puja tomorrow morning. After that, the Eco Everest team can stay overnight on the mountain. This means more rigorous training and acclimatization excursions leading up to the summit attempt sometime in May depending on weather and schedule with other expeditions.
Apa said he’s excited to be here and glad to start climbing.
