Everest Base Camp: FAIL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- It has been one year since we were stopped, 3kms short of Everest Base Camp. As we start planning a return trip to Himalayas, and decide what other hikes we want to include on this next adventure, we couldn’t help but reminisce on our first trip to Nepal and all the things that made us fall in love with the country and the people. It still hurts to watch the video back, and be reminded of just how close we were to Everest Base Camp, before being told no one could go any further. Whether you watched our daily vlogs on the trek last year, are new to the channel and haven’t seen any yet, or just want to watch the highlights again put together into one video, check out this video and find out why we failed to make it to Everest Base Camp.

This is no failure! Making it to the top of Kala Patthar is quite the accomplishment, over 18,000 feet!! And actually much harder than the relatively flat trek from Gorekshep to EBC. The views from there are certainly much better. Scenery and effort-wise you didn't miss anything, only in not checking some artificial box...
Thank you!! It’s been so great to hear from yourself and so many others on this. It was an amazing experience, and you are totally right. We will go back, and hopefully check the artificial box (which is 100% what it is), and hopefully since it will be just us and a guide will get to spend some time interacting with those that will be summiting, more than we would have on this trip. There is always a positive!! Thanks for your comment!! :)
This is the best Everest hike video ever. Exactly what I've been wanting to see for a long time. Thanks!
Thank you!!
Sometimes the journey is better than the destination. Awesome trip
Absolutely 💯
Fantastic!!! THIS is the Everest video I’ve always wanted to see!!! ❤ I really enjoyed seeing the incredibly beautiful scenery, colorful towns, smiling local people & unique animals, displays of faith & culture, and especially the restaurants & food, as well as the sleeping accommodations!! Your commentary was entertaining and informative, your guide was engaging and knowledgeable, the bridges and narrow paths looked very daunting, and the whole trek was fabulous. Thank you SO much!!
Aaw, thank you!!! What a great comment!! Happy to hear we got to share our experience with you and that you enjoyed it as much as you did!!! Thank you so much for the comment! :)
This trek has always been on my bucket list. Watching your video gives me more of an insight into what to expect!! Loved it!! I’m sure the memories you collected will keep you warm until your next ‘successful’ attempt 🙌🏼
Thank you!! Hopefully you get to check it off your bucket list too!! 😊
You're the best couple,ever.I don't think I could have made it, that far;(lack of oxygen).💙💛💙 Nice photography,in this video.
Idiotic planning from the agency. In a case like this group should be able to split up, those not feeling well should go down slowly, fit ones go and do the planned trek with an assistant guide.
Go with private porter-guide next time and adjust your itinerary as you go.
Another thing: coming up via Tengboche is not the best route choice, as there is a much superior high trail on the opposite side of the valley via Phortse. Guides are too lazy to suggest this amazing High Scenic Trail. Only come down via Tengboche, makes no sense to hike the same low trail twice.
If it is of any consolation you did not really miss a lot after all. Best views you get from "Kala Pattar" anyway. Been there 5 times since 1985.
We will be going with our Sherpa guide Kami (the one we were seen with most in the video). We had an amazing time, and saw so much, and we have a long list of places we’d like to see and peaks we want to hike on our return (as you likely know having been so many times). It is such a special place.
@@ZachandDanielleyou should tell the guide.. he will tell the company and manage the trips
Can u share the key villages of phortse route
@@ravisampat From Namche you follow the standard trail but at the intersection after Khyangjuma choose the middle trail (left Khumjung, straight Gokyo, right Tengboche) to Gokyo. You will arrive at Mong La high ridge with several lodges, best viewpoint in Khumbu! Go down to Phortse Thenga (bridge) where you turn right and cross the river and climb to Phortse village. Stay overnight there. Next day take the High Scenic trail from the North-East corner of the village to Pangpoche (about 3 hours), have lunch and continue to Dingpoche in the afternoon. Takes 2 days just like the Tengboche route, few hours more walking, though, but the days are relatively short on the way up.
@@karipintakivi9153 I am practicing for solo in November and will take this route. was looking at key milestones and now you have helped. Thank you so much
Hey guys, thanks for making this video, it felt like you took me along for the journey. As someone who dreams to make the EBC trek one day, I couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for you guys when you mentioned you couldn’t go to the base camp just 3 km away. So close yet so far away. I pray that you both will get a chance to go back and tick that one off the list very soon. Cheers! And what a beautiful video you’ve made! Bravo
Thank you for the thoughtful message!! We hope you make it there too!! You will!!!
Absolutely loved this! And kami is the best guide ever👌🏻xx
He is!!!
Lovely video...felt so real... I felt like I was travelling with you guys❤... You guys are really strong...I want to be your subscriber...
Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
Wear glasses during bridge cross 😂😂😂 i am scared of heights too.. i usually wear sunglasses and look up while vrossing bridgess
That’s a great idea!!!
Nice accomplishment either way, and you’re basically there so congrats. Hiking here in a different B.C. (British Columbia 😅) stuff like this has so often happened to me and ppl I was with on hiking trips, road trips etc, where something out of the blue came up to foil our plans.
I felt so bad knowing you could have gotten to your goal after pushing yourselves for such a long trip. After watching pretty much every harrowing Everest documentary & video on UA-cam, I know that Sherpa’s know best! But in your case just going to B.C. I thought they could have been more lenient knowing that you were fit, responsible and so on. I would’ve pushed them a bit more and offered them a tip to let me go and meet them back at such & such a time, but every situation is different.
Just keep being good to each other because you seem like a great couple and you’re having awesome life experiences together and growing together, which is the journey part .. ♥️
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment!!! We had such a great time, and will go back. Everything happens for a reason, it was a wonderful experience ❤️
You should take out the word 'Fail' - it was awesome!
❤️
Just watching your video as I’m headed to base camp in October. Sorry that you didn’t get to the stones/sign BUT on your point on missing out on talking to Everest climbers - the base camp you go to as an EBC trekker is not the actual base camp where the Everest climbers are hanging I’ve been told. I don’t know anyone who trekked EBC who got to interact with Everest climbers. If that makes you feel better! Unless you guys were getting some special arrangement.
Ps. Did you do the whole trek in leggings? I was planning on wearing thermals and hiking pants to double layer as I was even a bit cold in that on Kilimanjaro and in Patagonia. Well done guys and thanks for the footage
Thanks for the comment!! Yes, I did the whole trek in leggings (and lots of layers on top). I think there was one day where I put an extra pant layer on top of my leggings. It was cold, but once you’re moving it’s not too bad as long as you have lots of top layers. I had warm socks too :)
We did it in May though, so I’m not sure if October would be more cold?!
We had been hoping since it was May and that’s around the time the climbers push for the summit that we’d get to interact with some! I think next time we go Kami, our amazing guide, he might be able to work that out for us, but you’re right…with a group it doesn’t seem like you’d be able to, typically.
Have an amazing time on your trip, it’s going to be soooo great!! 😊
@@ZachandDanielle I’ve heard (just some chats on Reddit) that unless you see them in the tea houses, they stay higher up in Base Camp and won’t talk to trekkers because they don’t want to get sick.
Absolutely fantastic.... Stunning heavenly scenery.... Thanks for sharing your journey...
Thanks for watching it!! :)
Totally awesome video you don’t get to see all these little mountain towns shops, eateries etc! Your wife is funny 😆 one of the very few detailed videos out there on the trek to base camp etc!! Thank you
Thank you!!!!! 😊
If you are scared of heights, once do a bungy jump gathering all your courages. You will never have fear of heights again. You did great here. Sh!t happens in mountains. Well done 👏👏
Thanks so much!!! Zach has done that really high bungee jump in New Zealand…maybe that’s why he isn’t as scared of heights as me haha.
@@ZachandDanielle oh great. Fears are very important in our lives to keep us grounded. Thank you very much for visiting our country. Best wishes 🙏
Enjoyed the Video very much, this was no fail, just a start into a new adventure ^.^ , next year this time we get a new vid from EBC :D
Love it! Thank you!!!
Excellent. Love looking at those high summit peaks reaching to the sky. Looks massive.
I enjoy it. I will watch It again and again. I think this please beautiful.
You're locking you went to see Everest.
The beautiful place in Earth.
Thank you.
I will watch it again and again
Thank you!!! Happy to hear you liked the video! It is a very special place in the world!
Hi guys. Great video. May I ask how you chose what trekking company to go with. Would you have a recommendation?
Thank you! Our neighbour is friends with the owner of Sherpa Encounters who supports a lot of families in Nepal and takes groups there. Eoin the owner is great. Going forward we will just book directly with our Sherpa Kami who you see in the video! His email is kaminurbusherpa@gmail.com. He is wonderful!
how did edHillary managed to walk that mileage with Tensing . EdHillary gear are displayed at AucklandMuseum . Very heavy gears but he made it . frm NewZealand
Awesome accomplishment. This is in no means a failure. Kala Patthar is 5545 M where as EBC is 5365 M. I did EBC in Oct '23 but still rue not making to Kala Patthar. Good luck for your next attempt.
Thank you! 😊
What a Fabulous trip turnaround times keep everyone safe, loved this video
Thank you!! 😊
I am planning The Island, to the top, in 11 or 12 months. My first and probably only 6k mountain. Some easier hills this summer. But you two are young, and have many hills to summit! Good for you.
That’s awesome!!! Have fun!!
From there is literally a short walk! I did it in an hour. Oh guys what a miss. I would have gone even dead.
We will be going back!!
How much did you pay for all the Sherpas ?
Did you have to buy permits?
Cost of permits ?
Did anyone check them ?
Since you didn’t make it to BC did they offer you partial refunds ?
We booked with Sherpa Encounters originally, who works closely with a group of Sherpas and took care of permits, etc.
Yes, you need permits to hike/trek in the area - they aren’t expensive and your Sherpa will arrange it for you. You buy them along the trail (we show this in the video).
Hope that helps.
@@ZachandDaniellehow much were the permits?
By the way you look like Peter Santenello.
@E39M5SPEED We don’t remember exact costs of permits as we paid for things all together, but they weren’t very expensive.
You must be thinking of all the climbers that are in base camp at the moment. I read this morning that 2 climbers were swept off the mountain at the Hilary step. When are you planning on going back?
We are hoping to go back next year, or 2026! We have some other adventures planned in the meantime, so just have to figure out timing!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Loved the video btw what month did you trek
Thank you!! We did it in May!
EBC is on my hit list very soon, I just wrapped up Kilimanjaro that was also rough but amazing. Do you recommend the trek company. Can you send me the name
Kilimanjaro is on our list!! We haven’t got there yet. Our amazing, singing Sherpa Kami can arrange everything for you!! He is the best! His email is: kaminurbusherpa@gmail.com
@@ZachandDanielle thank you both, I will be looking for your stickers and will reach out out to Kami
@@PaulPadilla-h2x send us a picture when you find them!!
Still a great video! Not a failure at all. Really enjoyed that story.
Thank you!! Happy you enjoyed it!
no failure here, its inspired me to do it! .. did u go in may time? if so would u recommend that time of year? im thinking oct/nov for me
Thank you!! Yes, we went in May, but October/November is the other good time to go!
@@ZachandDanielle thank u
Oh, well, no biggie. Been there, didn’t do your other 5k peaks, and EBC was a fun box to check. And, at the end? You mention Island Base Camp! That is our next gig in Nepal….
Thanks!! 😊
Are you going to climb island peak or just go to base? We just went to base because we didn’t have time to climb, but a friend of ours climbed it years ago and really enjoyed it!
Next May I will be on my way to EBC after so many years of waiting for it. You gave me some good tips for the trip. Maybe we will meet somewhere there, who knows. I try to find your stickers anyway 😉
Yes!! Please do!! Have an amazing time!
I could listen to this all Danielle is delightful.
❤️
Excellent video 🎉 Thank you for posting ❤
Happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks!!!
Can you share any details how you arranged for your beautiful trip - its amazing- thanks for sharing
Our amazing Sherpa is Kami! Here is his Facebook profile - you can reach out to him and say you got referred by Zach and Danielle and he can arrange everything!
facebook.com/kami.nurbusherpa?mibextid=LQQJ4d
His email is also: kaminurbusherpa@gmail.com
I've seen so many Everest videos, and yours was really special. Question- did the diarrhea problem affect you both, did it last for several days, and do you think it was from the food.
The diarrhea only affected Danielle, she had to take some antibiotics to get rid of it. It is very common, it could have been from anything - we aren’t 100% sure where it was from. Since most people will get it at some point while trekking it’s advised to bring some antibiotics that treat the common bugs they have there.
Base camp is main objective on the trip, should be reached before kala patthar, all off my group of 16 reached base camp and it was optional to do kala patthar following morning which 6 off us left to do at 5am before everyone left that day
That was our plan but the weather was perfect the day we arrived in Gorak Shep. Had we of done it that way (if he would have allowed those who wanted to go up to Kalla Patthar to do so) we wouldn’t have had the views we did. We will go back!!
The highest pt at 5650m with a good view, in my eyes, looks better than EBC at 5364m.
It was very cool trip
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed the view. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!!
Congratulations ❤
Oh that would have killed me. I just got back from doing it. I hope you get to go back someday. It is worth every step.
We will go back!!! We are hoping next year or in 2026! Happy to hear you had a good time!!
@@ZachandDanielle Also, that being said, the best view of Everest is the one you got on top of Kala Patthar. Most people just go to the sign/rock and back to Gorak Shep. I got to spend a night in Base Camp and walk around the glacier which was incredible. But I was supposed to climb Island Peak and some bum showed up with Covid and got the whole group of us sick and we had to scratch the climb. So you also got to see things most EBC trekkers don’t. It looks and sounds like your journey was amazing… and that’s the most important part. ❤️❤️
@@JewelsHanson-gb4kl It was an amazing trip! That is cool you got to spend the night at Base Camp and explore the glacier! Sorry to hear you didn’t get to Island Peak. Zach and I hiked to Island Peak Base Camp on our own which was cool, but we didn’t climb higher than that as we didn’t plan for it or have the time at that point. We are all lucky for the experiences we had there!!! I’m sure you had an amazing time too, despite not getting to do Island Peak - and maybe you’ll go back!
Loved
You did well, and you did get higher than base camp. You were in good enough shape to have made it.
❤️ thank you!
Good job.......
Ohh no. 3km will be less than 1hr walk....
Exactly :(
You guys make pretty good contact for having only 230 subs. I bet that will change fast..
❤️
.u guys make a good vlogger
It was good to know that you can made it to EBC physically and mentally eventhough some events prevented you to go. You will know what to expect for your 2nd attempt. Suggest you to change other sherpa though because your current sherpa didn't plan your journey well. Strong hikers must never scarifying their destination for the weak hikers. It was so unfair to you.
We will know what to expect next time for sure!! It wasn’t our Sherpa who planned it, it was a guide….when we go back again we will definitely use Kami again, but it will just be him, Zach and I, and whatever porter (if needed).
maybe translate meters into feet???
Dont you dare hit the DONKEYS ---- without them you are lost........
Uummm…okay?! 😆
Aaack the vocal fry 🤦♀️
Thanks for taking the time to make such a constructive comment 😂
Who cares about base camp? Having scaled 4 peaks is way more rewarding!
❤️
Not everyone can do that.
You cant consider this a failure,,you are practically there,and its lower than where youv been,,chin up guys this was a epic effort
Thank you!! 😊
At 81, although I do a lot of trekking, it is very unlikely I will ever get to do this trek so it is wonderful to experience it vicariously!! Thank you for taking time to point out some of the special locations along the way. Very beautiful area!!
There was a lady in her late 70’s that did it when we did!! You can do it!!
DO it!!!!
My daughter just completed this trek. It was almost called off due to bad weather but they got lucky and weather improved. Top tip: she was in a party of just 3 people. Less chance of being called off due to others in party getting ill.
Ps. What you achieved in any event was awesome. Congrats
Thank you so much, and congrats to your daughter!!! Hopefully she still got nice views of the mountains despite the bad weather!
Exquisite!
Thank you 🙏 One of the best Everest basecamp trek travel logs. I rarely/never comment on these but your companion spirits & camaraderie with your awesome #1 guide, Kami (?) touched my heart 💕 Congratulations!!!
Aaw, thank you so much!! What a nice comment. Thanks for taking time to leave us a message. It’s been great reading and connecting with everyone. And yes, Kami is such a great guide! We highly recommend him for any hikes in that area!
Great video you two. Just think of those who pay up to USD$65,000 to climb to the top, and many have to cancel with less than 100 mts vertical to go, after staying there for two months and those are the lucky ones if you take into consideration the ones that never go back to their loved ones and remain buried on the mountain. The reward vs risk assesment for this trek was almost infinite given all you guys were able to experience at different levels, and I believe, you only shared a small percentage of it. Now getting into the 60's, but planning to accomplish the trek just like the two of you. Congratulations and great job !
100%. Thank you!!! You should definitely do it!
Hmmm, you shud have just gone :/ however just to say people aren't allowed to talk or meet climbers in their areas who are summiting. I was surprised myself to see no entry after the main ebc sign. Not many people know that... so you saw as much as most from kala pathar....congrats to you both.
Oh that’s interesting!! We didn’t know that!! Our Sherpa guide said next time he can set up some tea with some of the groups for us. We will have to check into that further!! Thanks for watching and for the congrats!! And congrats to you too for having done it as well!! :)
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. ❤ Even just seeing all those mountains would've been incredible!
Thank you!! And, absolutely!! They are amazing!
I really enjoyed your video. But please don’t use the word “retarded” when describing a beautiful spot. It is a word that causes distress to people who actually have mental disabilities. There are many words you can use to substitute. I hope you will take this as constructive criticism. You offered lots of great detail that I haven’t seen in other Everest videos. I also subscribed.
Thank you, and you’re right. We didn’t mean anything by it, but you are right 100%.
love from Nepal !😍😍
That's the problem with these short organized trips. More days is always better. Not there is much to see at the Base Camp anyway.
Don't go with a group. Go0 on your own with a guide or porter. I took it slow , ay my pace. made it to EBC. Take it slow. I was the slowest.
Wow didn’t know you would have to turn back if someone in the group isn’t feeling it. Usually they should just assign you a different guide for the day.
Yea, it really sucked. I guess you never really know the situation until you’re there unfortunately. Up until the last minute we thought the group was going to be split too and then the decision was made to not allow the whole group to go. It was still an awesome trip though, and we can’t wait to go back!!
@@ZachandDanielle Sorry you had to go through this. We were just there and realize how tough it is to get there in the first place and then to have to turn back at the last moment!
Wearing prooper sunglasses helps during walks.
I don’t see failure. I see courage, strength, and a willingness to try no matter what happens 🇨🇦
Thank you!! ❤️
Just for the record...the classic EBC trek starts in Jiri. The Lukla start is a mini version, taking about half the time and effort.
Thanks, Tips 🫡
Berapa biaya yang harus di keluarkan untuk helikopter dari kathmandu ke lukla, dan apakah itu biaya perorangan atau untuk sebuah helikopter, terima kasih. Saya sangat senang sekali jika anda menjawab pertanyaan saya
I think it depends if you book the helicopter as an individual and go with others, or you book the whole helicopter (you can do both). We were with a group of people, but, all people were part of our group. I can’t remember the exact cost but it was definitely the most expensive cost of our trip. Around $500 USD per person I think it was?!
I don't know if you mentioned what month or time of year it was and if you found it to be crowded.
Great video
Thank you
We went in April/May and didn’t find it crowded! We did see others the closer you got to Base Camp, but we never found it overly busy.
Certainly not a failure. What were your altitude symptoms like?
Thank you! We didn’t really experience any, but others did. We mostly just felt more easily out of breath at times when climbing up to some of the peaks. But, some people got worse symptoms such as breathing difficulties and headaches.
Please share the sherpa’s you used names and if I may ask what did you pay for this tour?
Kami is our amazing singing Sherpa!! He can book everything for you. His email is kaminurbusherpa@gmail.com
No failure in mountaineering. When you need to go back, you just go back. You guys did amazing. Kala Patthar Summit is much more difficult than that 3km to EBC from Gorak Shep. Well done! These are lifelong memories.
Thank you so much!!
Very good Job Keep it Up God Bless You 💯❤👍🙏 New Subscribe
Ur walking that fast of course you gonna get sick
We didn’t get sick….lol.
Great video. Reminding me of my 4D3N Inca Trail. Except we had to sleep in tents at -5°C. Hot during the day though.
Thanks!! Zach did the Inca Trail with some friends a few years before we met. He loved it. We hope to go back and do it together as it’s been on my list for awhile! I was hoping to go after spending some time in the Amazon, but flights were just as expensive from Colombia as they were from home so, decided to go elsewhere afterwards. It’s on the list!!
@@ZachandDanielle Great. I think you would love it! An unforgettable and unique experiences for sure
Your mittens look so cozy and I love you can free your finger tips. Did you buy them in Nepal?
I did buy them in Nepal! In Kathmandu! They are super cozy :)
I think you can find similar ones in North America too…but I wouldn’t know where to suggest! Maybe you’ll need to do a trip to Nepal ;)
@@ZachandDanielle oh the plan is definitely to pick them up in Nepal!
🧿
Kala Patthar is an awesome accomplishment. It's higher than I have ever been at Thorong La 5416 m. Congratulations 🎉 I loved seeing the route through your eyes
Thank you! 😊 Thorong La at 5416m is a great accomplishment too!!
At least you got to experience what it’s like. The next time will be even more exciting. I enjoyed seeing this viewpoint. Thanks for sharing the experience with us. I look forward to your next adventure. 😊
Thank you!! 😊 I was such a great experience and we are so excited to go back!
If you are going again, a really good option to avoid the flight to Lukla is to take the original hike starting in Jiri. It is the original route that Hilary took when they conquered Everest. It is a 6 day hike to Lukla which gives a great way to acclimate and there are no crowds that you often get on the EBC route. It makes a longer trip, particularly if you hike from Jiri to Lukla and back. You could also try the 3 Peaks Trek to add another challenge. You made it to Kala Patar so could do the other climbs. I would also do the trek on your own then you don't have to worry about others. Next year when I return, I'll watch for your stickers.
Awesome!! Those are great suggestions! Thank you!!! Have fun next year and let us know if you see our stickers!!!
Hi, nice video. Heartbreaking not to go all the way...I've travelled several times to Nepal hiking and climbing. I do it on my own with a guide. This way it's done the way I like it. My times, my speed, basically I'm in control of the adventure......BTW, best burgers are in the irish pub in Namche. ❤
We will try the burgers next time we go!! We had a drink there :)
And agreed - usually we do all our hikes on our own, and would have done this just with the Sherpa but we were invited by our neighbour actually, who has been so many times with this group and it was going to be his last time doing it as he is getting older so we did it this way this time. No regrets - we had a great time and met Kami and other amazing people!! We will use Kami as our Sherpa when we return … he is the best :)
Too many westerners choose a very difficult trek as their first in Nepal and thats unwise. I only did the 3 peaks on my 4th trip to Nepal, so I had a greater degree of knowledge and self confidence.
Only we did all those peaks in our group; some people didn’t do any peaks.
You paid to go EBC. Whoever sick should have separate arrangements at their own expense like hiring other guide to bring them down. Its not right to ask you to give up.
Agreed. We will go back though, and get to see it. It obviously wasn’t meant to be at that time for whatever reason.
At 1:48 what are they doing to the dog? It looks like fire, but I thought that they celebrated and love dogs in Nepal and are against hurting/eating them 😭
It isn’t a dog, it is a pig!
Great video, sooo close uhh. Just curious, was there only one guide Doesn’t seem right that everyone has to miss it because of a few that are ill
We went with a group from Canada, and the leader of that group (Sherpa Encounters) works closely with amazing Sherpas and porters. He was the one that made the call for the group to not go. We don’t think that’s a typical thing - usually the group would be split, but we think due to his health at the time, some of those in the group, and the length of the hike that day he just called it off. In hindsight would he have done the same thing if we could go back in time? I’m not sure…. But we will go back again and book directly with Kami, our Sherpa - he can set everything up and then you don’t have to go with a group either.
Fantastic, I really like your singing dancing entertaining guide
Kami is the best!
I dont know it's a fail. You made it there, just not into the base camp.
Thank you!
Nice video, that does look like a special trip. I love hiking and backpacking and would love to go on a trek to the Himalayas.
You should!! It is beautiful!
You will get 1000 subscribers very soon❤
❤️
Definitely not a fail! lovely video, you guys are strong 🙌🙌
❤️
Hey I'm a B.C girl too😊😊 awesome channel
Thank you!
Wow, fantastic video. Thx
Thank you 😊 happy you enjoyed it!!
This is piss more planning by the company. All this should have been factored as a what if.
There were so many people feeling unwell, that despite us feeling okay, that’s why the decision was made, unfortunately. The group leader was concerned about the health of some of the people that wanted to go to on to Base Camp if the groups were split, along with some of the Sherpa’s health as it would have been a long day for them too. It was unfortunate, but we were a team and in the end it gives us another reason to go back!! Kami (the singing Sherpa we hiked with mostly) is amazing and we are planning a trip back with him where since it will just be him, Zach and I, we can spend more time at Base Camp than we would have on that trip - maybe have tea with the climbers and get to talk to other sherpas and groups more. That’s what we would have wanted then, but likely wouldn’t have got at that time. So, it all works out. :)
Wait some of the sherpas were sick too?
No, but the group leader was worried that it would be a really long day for them too and didn’t want them to feel tired or unwell.
Are you experienced climbers w/many climbs at high altitude ? If not, stay home.
We are glad you enjoyed the video as much as everyone else ;)
