Hardcore path in the Himalayas

Taken on the way to the Everest base camp, a little bit before Gokyo lake

Wow, that bridge does not look very reliable. A photo of someone on the bridge, or a photo from the bridge would have had some potential visual impact.

I see a path...I can't find a bridge.

Who took the bridge.... I could not find it. Interesting image but something is lacking. Scale maybe

 

[xaviersaintcyr]

hehe, I guess something is lacking, there's no bridge, it's a path on the other side of the valley, on a ridge, even if someone had be walking there, the photo had not show him (too far away)

wow....so did you go to base camp?

 

[xaviersaintcyr]

Indeed! was awesome!

So did you climb it?

 

[xaviersaintcyr]

I didn't! Maybe one day, but I still don't no if it's something I want to do...
I do like to climb mountains, but this one is a different level that I ever did for sure
I'll see!

The higher up I went was on top of Kalapathar Ridge, it was crazy windy from up there, and the clouds were covering the Mt Everest, so I tay up there for 2 hours in a small cave to wait for an open view on the mountain.

My dad must have walked that path some 15 years back...!
He could do it at 67 years of age.
I'll NEVER be able to do it, I'm afraid...

I once drove to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, so I have a pretty good understanding on the subject.

beautiful, Himalayas are definitely a place I need to visit.
