In term one of this year, one of the year four dad's spoke to the boys during their 'Natural Disaster Unit'. He spoke about Mt. Warning in Northern New South Wales. Both my boys came home enthused enough to want to climb it. We did, and on our descent, the question was posed, as to what was the world's tallest mountain and could we summit it. Steve and I agreed to Mt Everest Base Camp.
After a gruelling 11 days to ascend EBC (Everest Base Camp), we turned to leave and one son proclaimed, "That's The Big E done, bring on Kosciusko!"
Both boys have received much accolade from local Nepalese, Sherpas and foreigner climbers. One son was asked how he found Base Camp, his answer was golden; "easy, Mum and Dad showed us the way!"
What follows are our thoughts on the 18 day trek up and back from Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar and Ama Dablam Base Camp.
