The Altitude Junkies team has safely reached Cholatse Base Camp and is enjoying the warm vibes! 🌄 The camp is peaceful, with only a few teams preparing for their summit bids. The ropes are fixed, and in just a couple of days, we’ll be heading to Camp 1 for rotation before our summit push once acclimatized.

**Altitude Junkies Cholatse Update:**

It’s beer o’clock for the altitude junkies after a pleasant short hike to Machermo! They will be spending the night at Machermo Lodge and will continue their trek to Cholatse Base Camp tomorrow. So far, everything is going smoothly, and the team is thoroughly enjoying their time together, having shared several trips with the junkies before.
Additionally, we are excited to announce that we are now open for the Kanchenjunga expedition scheduled for next spring, 2025!

This is Cholatse, one of our favorite mountains in the world.
Although only 6440 meters, she makes up for the lack of height with technical challenges, beauty and peace. (not crowded!)
This will be our seventh year climbing her.
Come join us this fall..........

From the team:
Looks like puja will be on the 24...Sammy's day 🙏
Rope fixers have been to C1.Running out of Khukuri

(for those who don't know, Khukuri is a Nepalese rum, which AJ's Phil believes is very good for "acclimatization and the throat")
