Lobuche Climbing

One more peak under his belt.  The climbers climbed to a mid-camp and spent the night.  They then woke up early to summit.  They had to wait a few hours due to weather.  They made it up to the top and then went back down to Lobuche base camp.  They are resting for two days before they climb Lobuche again.  Yesterday on their first rest day it snowed and blew and there was a huge lightening storm.

Back at Everest Base Camp it was storming as well.  It was storming and blowing so hard that a huge serac collapsed in the Khumbu Ice Falls.  Luckily nobody was in there at the time.  Thank heaven for small miracles.
