Kyajo Ri

Now we were in Mende and finished with trekking around the mountain to acclimatize. I’m pretty sure we were all feeling ready to start our ascent of Kyajo Ri. Longer days with more load carrying were lined up, which I was both looking forward to and dreading. Base camp (4500m) The previous evening had ended on a slightly unfortunate note for Deborah, who for some reason or another seemed to be the only one affected by stomach problems on this trip. I started stressing over the possibility that I might also end up with an unexpected trip to the toilet during the night which fortunately didn’t happen, but there was a lot of tossing and turning for most of the night worrying about it. Deborah was unsurprisingly feeling quite wiped out the next morning and found the steep start up the hill a >>>

So it had been 5 whole years since my last episode of Himalayan suffering, long enough at least that I had forgotten how incredibly tiresome it is to ascend mountains over 6000m. Thin air was beckoning again :) In the start of 2016 I therefore decided that it was time to go back. Kyajo Ri is a mountain in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal and one I have wanted to climb since 2012 (not long after I came back from a trip to Mera Peak and Baruntse ) when it was first introduced as a commercial trip by the UK-based company Jagged Globe.

Fikk med meg Kamila og Johanna på tur til Blåtinden. Lenge siden sist gang vi alle var på tur i lag! Kjølig i lavlandet, rundt 0 grader da vi startet turen, men det ble bare varmere og varmere da vi kom oss opp i høyden pga temperaturinversjon. Tipper at det nådde 14 eller 15 grader og vi satt på toppen i ca. 45 minutter i kun shorts og sports-BH :) Nydelig vær og veldig koselig selskap, tusen takk for turen Johanna og Kamila!
