Everest Trek - Day 10

Day 10 - Lobuche base camp and storm
Beginning of a storm at Lobuche Base Camp


Not the worst storm ever. But being at 4,900 meters make it seem a lot more real when thunder is going off beside you. The winds are starting to pickup.

That and last night we heard avalanches popping off from everywhere.

The temperatures hover around freezing now. Basecamp is setup with a tent for washroom and kitchen among the sleeping tents. The washroom is a hole dug into the ground. Once you're done,you shove a bit of dirt to cover it.

Tomorrow, Everest base camp. (Imagine the climbers on Everest right now. Probably around camp 2 and 3, aka half way up.)
