We had a team of 9 students and 3 adults trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar (5550m) via Phortse Primary School, Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass (5368m). We had been busy fundraising since our expedition launch in July 2012 and left for our adventure on 24 April and returned to Queenstown on 17 May. We aimed to fulfil the theme for our journey 'Shaping Life Through Adventure' and our College motto Whaia te taumata - pursue the highest peaks and Deserve Success.

On the way to EBC
Up at 5 this morning and away by 6 am. Spectacular day with great views of the Khumbu Glacier and Pumo Ri. Caught first view of Everest Base Camp above Gorak Shep. Having an early lunch at Gorak before heading to EBC.
Fantastic phots and great to see progress. Dont forget to wave as you go past the pyramid near Loubuche - it has a webcam takes pics every minute I can see the weather from it is treating you very well. Say Hi to Bryn Cheers Roger
