Pictures from the Khumbu / Everest Region

Just in time for the holidays, Adam and I have found some fast computers in Bangkok and are posting some pictures on the interweb. Below are some pictures from the Everest trek that I hope you enjoy. Adam has also posted some pictures from New Zealand -- both climbing and non-climbing -- on Facebook. You have to be on Facebook and perhaps a "friend" of Adam's to view them. (I'm sure he won't mind new friend requests ...)

Below is a photo of Adam on the trail between Lobuche and Gorak Shep.


And below is a photo of Adam and Robin at the top of Kala Pattar (5600m) with Everest (the big black peak) and Nuptse (the right peak) in the background.


The Khumbu glacier, which stretches from the base of Everest down the valley (pictured below) is quite magnificent itself. Much of the trail above Lobuche is beside the glacier.




Below is a photo of Everest and the ice fall (where base camp would be during the climbing season), taken from Kala Pattar.



Below is a photo of Adam and I chillin' at the Everest View Hotel in Syangboche, with Everest (centre left) and Ama Dablam (the big peak to the right) in the background.







Above, Mount Everest (left) and Lhotse (right) at sunrise. Below the same panarama at sunset. Taken from Deboche, on the trek up.



Below is a photo of Ama Dablum from the north, taken from the top of Nargarshang Ri (5200m).



We hope you enjoy! Happy holidays.
