Climbing up Gokyo Ri at just after 5 in the morning.
Looking east across the Ngozumba Glacier.
And now the big mountains come into view. The tallest is Everest (8850 m), to the immediate right is Lohtse (8501 m), and the small pyramid to the right and faintest is Makalu (8463 m).
Suk and the mountains.
Cho Oyu (8153 m) and its shear wall. The mountain on the right is Gyachung Kang (7922 m).
A bigger view of the big mountains.
A bunch of peaks about 6500 meters tall (21,000+ feet), not that tall...
360-degree panorma from Gokyo Ri!!! It's big and it's awesome, made from 14 pictures, 2 megapixels each, by the Canon Powershot A20 digital camera. The 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th tallest peaks in the world! We're at 5357 meters or about 17,500 feet. These mountains go as high as 8850 meters!
Everest has no wind blowing off it yet.
Tall mountains, a mother of a glacier, the 3rd Gokyo Lake, and tiny little Gokyo village.
Back down in Gokyo
Crossing the Ngozumba Glacier on the way to Dragnak.
You can now see actual ice, not just rocks and scree.
