Goldie Bear at Everest Base Camp

Goldie is home from his trek.  He's a bit grubby and tired after an adventurous journey all the way to Everest Base Camp and home again.  He is looking forward to being back at school this week.

Goldie made it all the way to Everest Base Camp at 5364m above sea level.  This wasn't the highest spot he got to.  It gets really difficult to breathe at this altitude.  Can you find out what the effects of altitude are for people who trek and climb?

Everest by moonlight

We left our beds at 1.50am this morning and headed up 600 metres to Gokyo Ri in order to observe and photograph the moonlight on Everest and surrounding peaks. This was one steep mother of a hill providing us all with a great challenge, climbing at snail’s pace and taking just over two hours to reach our goal. Wow! What an amazing view when they got there. Thanks Tim for sharing this amazing photo.
