Day 8 - Approaching Lobuche



April 3rd

The views in the Khumbu Valley today were incredible. Amazing. Feels like we are creeping up to the foot of a formation of giants. Their sheer verticleness is simply indescribable. Every high ridge is battered by the extreme relentless weather. Massive slabs of rock and snow regularly being ripped off the side of the mountain, and sliding thousands of feet down, and leaving vertical lacerations and ravines like someone ran a big serrated blade, sideways down the slope.
