Day 16: Acclimatization Hike to Pumori Base Camp
Joe Ashkar & Mark Wilkins in front of Pumori
Today we went on an acclimatization hike to Pumori Base Camp which is over 300 m (1,000 ft) higher than Everest Base Camp. The hike to stretch our legs was much more strenuous than expected. On the way back, I felt pretty congested and achy as if I’m coning down with a cold. Tomorrow we will venture about third of the way into the Khumbu Ice Fall.
