| Kala Pattar Peak |
Stephen finally got to really climb! He climbed Kala Pattar Peak. It is a 45min. hike away from Base Camp. It rises to 18,200ft+. It was very cold and not a very easy climb. A lot of trekkers try and climb it but not many make it. It was a tiring day but Stephen said it was great to climb, so it was well worth it. Too much sitting can be hard!!! The climbers didn't practice ladders and ropes the other day like I said they would but they are planning on doing it tomorrow. Russell said that there may be times when they have up to 5 ladders tied together to get across some of the crevasses. Sounds like FUN!!!! Check out Stephen on www.himex.com.

The view from Kala Pattar is breathtaking. It's likely the closest I'll come to being on top of the world.
