I’m not gonna lie, the climb to Namche kicked my butt. The air is clear and super thin and we did approximately 5 miles of straight up “shortcuts” from Namche. I am so thankful for every sqat, run, butler, etc. with Camp gladiator because my knees held up really well, I held my own! I’m still crawling into Namche though and we don’t stop here today, headed for Sanasha before stopping tonight.
