Rec HiMALAyA 2011 Expedition
Join me at 6,000m on a Himalayan summit!
EVEREST
REGION
Trek Date: -
Trek/ Climb Duration: 23-25 days
Expedition Leader: Geoff Wayatt
Trek details to be advised - likely a walk in to the rolwaling Valley and walk out.
We'll be a group of 6 -10 strong and competent MtnRec trek/climbing friends.
In 1999, 2002, 2003 &
2004, 06 & 07, we successfully completed similar 25 day trek-climbs
in the Everest region.
Nepal politics: Significant political changes have occurred
Expedition
Objectives:
Expedition Format: It
is my intention to run the trip on an informal, alpine
style expedition. This will mean that the expedition
members will have to carry more responsibility for their
achievements. I hope this will also mean greater
satisfaction. My belief is is if we can minimise our
baggage, we can maximise our fun (within reason) Chuldim
Temba (2x Everest summit)knows my philosophy and
I’ll trust him to put together the local logistics
that work best for everyone.

The acclimatization rate is based on a 300m/day elevation gain over 1st ten days.TREK ACCOMMODATION: The traditional trek format is tent based. However in the populated parts of Khumbu valley there are A numerous trek lodges. Both forms of accommodation have their advantages. We plan to use both when and where appropriate. (Ice axe & crampons can be hired in Wanaka or Kathmandu @ US$10/day) and if trekkers wish they can sleep in lodges pay for the bed on a nightly basis (US$5-8/night)(Current Exch rate US$1 - 75 rupees) There are some nights when the lodge option may be available (and hot? showers at US$5)
