Mera Peak Summit Success 🏔🇳🇵🙌🥳
We did it! Between 6-6:30am this morning, our 4 climbing groups all reached the summit of Mera Peak - Nepals tallest trekking Peak.
There's no doubt about it, given recent weather events, we got lucky to have a shot at the summit having delayed ourselves by just a day (some people waited 6 due to deep snow!) The group spent a chilly night at High Camp which is perched on a cliff top at 5800m. At 1am we were up getting ready, and by 2am we were off up the steep slopes. All that was required was 700m of ascent and 2.5km, but above 6000m, everything is very tough.
Everyone dug in, and reached the top shortly after sunrise. The views from Mera are tremendous. Everest, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Ama Dablam, Kangchengchubga, Lhotse, Nuptse, Chamlang and many more peaks are there to feast your eyes on.
From the summit we descended to High Camp, and then back to the relative comforts in the village of Khare (4900m).
The team are suitably tired, but very pleased with their accomplishments - and rightly so! Well done from me all.
Tomorrow we trek for one final day back down to Kothe.
** Join us on our next Mera Peak departure in the Autumn of 2029! Get in touch **
