Life at Ama Dablam
This is one of my best experiences from base camp life I’ve had so fare. We trekked from Pangboche up to base camp in perfect weather conditions. The camp pops up very fast in front of you at an altitude of 4576m and it’s like…
Trekking into Rivendell valley
We have been busy moving upwards in the mountains the last days. Lots has happened and we are having a marvelous time together in our team. So, this will be a long blogpost…. When we left Kathmandu during night I became so glad to see…
I love Kathmandu but long for the mountains

Yesterday night was the right time to make our summit attack for the Elbrus West Peak 5642m. We decided to have breakfast at 23:00 and leave at midnight. The weather forecast looked good and moonshine was on the schedule – a wonderful nightclimb to Lentz…
