1st trekking pics!

The crew getting all set up with gear for the climb! Turns out you can buy really cheap gear in Nepal, it's either 2nd use or knock off, but it's still good enough, I've probably saved $500 here! Could have saved a lot more!



Nice scenery, but cloudy...



Can you believe it??!!


The Lukla airstrip, what we flew in to. This was built by Sir Edmond Hilary and his Himalaya foundation. Quite the ride...


The mountains outside of Lukla, so far our only spot of them!

    The runway is paved AND numbered! I'm impressed.

    Happy hiking!
