Things donโt always go exactly according to plan.
Part 1 (16/09/24)
At the time of first writing this, with no way of getting the information out, Tim, Dawa Sherpa and myself are currently waiting in Camp 1 on Manaslu for an evacuation helicopter.
Our first rotation (14/09/24) started well and we moved along comfortably and made good progress on our ascent.
At around 5500m, only 200 vertical metres from camp 1, Timโs back started experiencing mild spasms and by the time we reached our camp, had seized up which made it difficult for him to breathe and even walk without suffering extreme pain.
There was no improvement overnight, despite treatment and medication, and our intended walk up towards Camp 2 was placed on hold.
I monitored Tim throughout the day (15/09/24), hoping it was just a temporary set back but his condition was not settling down.
Eventually I had the conversation I had to have, but hate to have with Tim.
Tim is strong, determined and possesses such a positive mindset which I have witnessed in the mountains many times before.
He goes about his business in a measured and calm manner, but he looked at me, his eyes started to well, as did mine and he ultimately made the decision.
I knew in my heart that the journey was over for this year, but I wanted Tim to be part of the process, and he showed incredible courage and a clear sense of reality that any other decision would be fraught with danger.
With no way of continuing up or even descending, a helicopter evacuation was our only option.
Part 2 (17/09/24)
The helicopter finally arrived this morning in Camp 1 (5700m) after having to abandon an earlier attempt yesterday due to bad weather.
A team of Sherpas had prepared a make-shift helipad a few nights ago as we were planning to get Tim out yesterday morning but we had to play the weather waiting game.
Tim is n
Despite of heavy rain these past few days, we've had our Puja at Manaslu Base Camp. We are hoping to start our first rotation in the coming days, planning to spend 4 nights in the upper camps. ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง. ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ ๐www.everestone.com.au #mountaineering #climbing #adventure #adventuretime #Manaslu2024 #manaslu #8000ers #8000m #himalayas #nepal #challenge #mountains #puja

Yesterday at about 3pm we welcome Conor, Dawa Sherpa and Allan back to EBC, while Pasang Sherpa was catching up.
We organized our amazing EBC trekkers/Lobuche East climbers group to be at the lower part of Khumbu Icefall to give them a warm welcome - thank you everyone!
We're all super excited and relieved that they're back safely. It was a perfect day!
We're getting the photos and videos together and cannot wait to share them with you.
Thank you for following our Mt Everest Expedition. We look forward to the next one!
Meanwhile, our second Lobuche East climb is starting today and we'll keep you updated.

A member of our April EBC trekking team asked me if I could find a remarkable location up on Everest to place some Buddhist prayer flags in memory of her late husband.
I have to say, it was a true privilege for Dawa Sherpa and myself to position the flags high on the mountain between an ice formation looking out across Everest, Lhotse and Nupste, with the prayers blowing forever in the Himalayas.
Such a beautiful tribute by Sue and her children in memory of a wonderful husband and Dad.

Everest One's trekkers and Lobuche East climbers get to stay for 2 nights at the EBC on April/May climbing season. With box tents and a lot of space to stand and park your gear & duffle bags, mattress and pillows, we provide comfort from the cold. We also get to explore the lower part of Khumbu Icefall and served delicious food. If you want to go to Everest Base Camp, why stop at the flag and turn around? Experience the climbing community inside the EBC, surrounded by icefalls and giant mountains - with us. www.everestone.com.au
Allan does gear check for all trekkers and climbers before everyone packs, making sure they have all they need and the proper gear for the mountains and still have time to get last-minute items in Kathmandu. www.everestone.com.au #everesttrek #mountains #mountaineering #mountaineer #mountainlife #climbing #trekking #topoftheworld #challenge #mountainclimbing #gearcheck #mountainclimbers #mountainworld #exploring #adventuretime #adventurer #altitude #everestone #adventure #adrenaline #himalayas #everestclimb #8000er #lobucheeastclimb #ebc
We're ready to start our first EBC trek + Lobuche East and Mt. Everest climb group. Briefing and gear check were done last night. Everyone's got their duffle bags, jackets, hoodies and caps.

This spectacular Riad within the Medina is where Everest One group stay for 2 nights before heading for Erfoud - gateway to the Sahara Desert. Riad is a traditional Moroccan homes, typically found in the medinas of cities like Marrakech, Fez, and Rabat, offer a glimpse into the countryโs past while enchanting visitors with their elegance. Constructed around a central courtyard, Riads are characterized by their inward-facing design, creating a private sanctuary away from the bustling streets outside. The courtyard, often adorned with intricate tile work, lush greenery, and a refreshing fountain, serves as the heart of the Riad, providing natural light and ventilation to the surrounding rooms. One of the most captivating features of Riad architecture is its meticulous attention to detail. From elaborately carved wooden doors and colorful mosaic tiles to ornate stucco plasterwork and hand-painted ceilings, every aspect of a Riad is crafted with precision and care. www.everestone.com.au #moroccotrip #luxurytrip #everestone #privategrouptrip #sahara #exploremorocco #seetheworld #adventure
