Pyramid

We crossed the Chola Pass yesterday in a 9 hour day. The pass was more challenging than I remember it in 2009. The route up the Gokyo side has been modified and resembles a via Ferrata with wire deployed on the slabby sections. The glacier is collapsing and shrinking on the Dzongla side. Tschering and I walked alone through memorable meadows past the 400 happy yaks under the big wall of Cholatse.

Today after a glorious sunrise over Ama Dablam and a puja in Dzongla we headed up to Pyramid the glacial research centre. Under the terminus of Lobuche Glacier.

And onwards to Everest.
