Everest Base Camp (17,600 ft)
The wind picked up overnight, rattling the tent and reminding us that, even here at Base Camp, Everest is always in control. I woke up early, breath visible in the dim light, and checked my watch. The camp was still quiet, just the occasional rustling of sleeping bags and the distant clatter of ice shifting somewhere up the mountain.
By 9:35 AM, the place was alive. Climbers moving between tents, Sherpas checking gear, expedition leaders huddled over maps, analyzing weather patterns. It’s a strange contrast—just hours ago, silence and stillness; now, a steady hum of anticipation, as if the mountain itself had flipped a switch.
We spent the morning on an acclimatization hike, climbing up a nearby ridge for a better view of the Khumbu Icefall. The altitude makes everything harder, but the view at the top? Worth every gasping breath. From here, the Icefall looks like a frozen river caught mid-motion, a chaotic jumble of towering seracs and deep crevasses. It’s beautiful, but deadly—a reminder that this journey isn’t just about strength; it’s about respect for the mountain.
Back at camp, I sipped on hot tea, watching the sun start its slow descent behind the peaks. The temperature’s already dropping fast: 25 to ten in what feels like minutes. Nights here are brutal, but there’s something oddly comforting about zipping into a sleeping bag, listening to the wind howl outside, and knowing that tomorrow brings another step closer to the summit. Some background in camping has really paid off.
