We are now back in Dingboche after a trek up to Chukkung where we went
up Chukkung Ri. The photo was taken at the summit. Matt and I also did a
voice update on his blog (because I forgot my phone!) which you can
find at http://blog.matthewdthornton.com (it may not be uploaded until a
bit later). Now we have just two nights left until we get to basecamp
which is really exciting!

The climb today was literally indescribable. I
wish I could upload more pictures! Hopefully I'll be able to send some more when I
get to basecamp.

Also, google "do summit good" to find the website and
blog of Paul one of the other guys I am climbing with.

The professional blogs are amazing they must have a large amount of money thrown at them.I am spending a great deal of time following them, too much perhaps but it's very addictive. Cheers Kate

Glad to hear that Matt seems better and hope you can find a spot to park at EBC. Stay safe cheers Kate.
