TO ADVANCED BASE CAMP - This is a 14 mile hike, ascending from 17,000 to 21,000 feet in elevation. The first time, we did this hike in two days. After spending time at ABC and then descending down to base camp, we ascended back up to ABC in one day because we were better acclimatized. It was still a long, tough hike. [EVE 2007-04-11_8]

TO ABC - The beginning of the hike is not that interesting but you get a great view of Everest. Can you see the hikers? [EVE 2007-04-13_30]

BACK TO BASE - This and the following were taken on another day, on our way back to BC. Climbers, yaks and yak herders crowd the trail. They are headed toward ABC as we descend to BC to rest at lower altitude. [EVE 2007-04-27_10]
