The team have arrived in Dingboche now. Good to hear the first stop was the bakery, and plans are in hand for tomorrow's trip to stock up on chocolate doughnuts and coffee (food featuring once more in the updates!)
Tim reports that all are acclimatising well – last night sleeping at 5,050 metres and not a headache in sight. After Dingboche they'll be making a couple of high camps at the Renjo La (circa 5,200m) and 'a pootle up Pokalde (just a tad over 5,800m).' After that they're heading for Base Camp, from where they'll start getting to know the route through the Khumbu Icefall and start spending nights at Camp 1 (6,000m) and Camp 2 (6,400m).
