• Himlung Expedition - Day 20

    October 30, 2024 in Nepal ⋅ ☀️ -10 °C

    Last full day and rest day in BC:
    Still very crumbled face, aching body and low energy.
    First shower after 20 days (only bucket or wet wipe showers the last days).
    Mingma had fun and ridden a horse.
    We welcomed Mimimimi-Mike and Dieter at the moraine as they attempted for summit 2 days later.
    We distributed our food supplies - sausage and cheese from Germany and Italy.
    We girls had a good time at the Sherpa tent and tried to understand the rules of the Nepalese card game.
    The evening ritual: before dinner, we always had hot towels to put on our faces.
    All crew members got their tip. It was nice to see that Lakpa managed this very openly. Everyone paid 650€ tip (400€ summit bonus even if the summit for the Sherpas (2:1) was not reached and 250€ for the kitchen and BC manager crew).
