That’s right, the training continues in EBC. Today we practiced vertical ice climbing. I suspect we will be going high in 3 or 4 days time. The weather continues to remain wonderful, so life in EBC is not so bad and it is a great place to acclimatize.
Everyone on the team is doing well and getting along. And this is a good thing as well. Keep sending the emails, it is nice to here news. Signing out from another sunny day in EBC.
Sounds like you’re having a good time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the weather to hold!
It sounds really beautiful up there. Not the icy purgatory I had pictured… 🙂
There has been a lot of Everest discussion in the Lowell Family these days. We’ll be driving somewhere in SF and my kids will ask “Where is Stephen today, dad?”, and I’ll explain about base camp, or the training you guys are doing. They are pretending to be mountain climbers a lot when we go to the playground.

Stephen, it seems like yesterday when we were practicing rope drills on my deck and now you’re climbing to the highest place on earth. Well done and I wish you all my best!
