EBC Team on top Kala Pattar right now!!!

Tim just checked in 07:00hrs NPT. Everyone is sleeping in this morning at Pokalde base camp except for him and Ang Karsung and Paulden who he says are giving me a big wave.

Our Everest Base Camp trek group are on Kala Pattar right now getting the sunrise on a beautiful morning.

THE PLAN

Today they team will be getting out on some rock and ice. Tim said John Forestell in particular is super stoked for this part of the trip. He's fully recovered now and is wired for energy.

Tomorrow the plan is to make their summit push on Pokalde, retreat and spend the night there at camp and then tackle objective number three- Lobuche East-the grand finale .

WEATHER

I see a light dusting of snow probably 1 to 3 cm of snow that won't cause any avalanche concerns but the view may not be as good as it can be from the top of Pokalde.

That's it for now.....  here's a little video I found from someone showing the view panorama from atop Kala Pattar for those who've not seen it before.

Stay tuned for the next summit push.
