#8000m

No need for #8000m boots here! We're 1,200' up on Venutian Blind, but that's still 16,000' lower than my last big climb 😆 Psyched on the #California sunshine and relatively warm weather. #CaliforniaDreaming #climbing #TempleCrag #CaptainNateFry (at Temple Crag)

Sometimes you just don't want to be at 7,000 meters anymore 😱. Here's @chadpeele making a speedy exit from the #NorthCol after we tagged it with @brooks.entwistle. For more pics and info on what climbing on the #Northside is like, check out my blog: 🔗 in profile. . The weather was great for this acclimatization push to the North Col, but now we're waiting for a #summit window. We're holding tight, reminding ourselves to be patient. This is the hardest part of a big expedition like this. If you go early on a marginal window you risk cold injuries or not summiting. Wait until later and the opportunity might escape you ⌛ . #patience #Everest #Everest2017 #8000m #Tibet #AdventureDoneRight (at Mount Everest)

#NorthsideSummitPush: day 3, Camp 3, 8300m. The work capacity of our #Sherpa team bogles my mind. This is my 3rd #8000m expedition and I'm still amazed by the tireless efforts of our team. Wind, snow, wrecked tents are just minor bumps in the road. Just another day at the office for these guys! After carrying gear to camp, building platforms (some built before hand), setting tents, gathering clean snow for melting they take a bit of rest and prepare their personal gear for the #summit. Here, Panuru, Palden (@namgye) and Phurba are ascending past other teams and destroyed tents above camp to our oxygen cache to grab the bottles we'll need for our #summit attempt. On our final push we'll use 3 bottles, while Sherpa only use two (if that). Even at half the flow, they are as fast as we are 💪! Thanks team! @alpenglowexpeditions #AdventureDoneRight #NorthSide #Everest #Everest2017 #NortheastRidge #MountEverest #DarnTough @julbousa (at Mount Everest)

Don't you ever do anything besides acclimatize? . Well... No 😝. Most of our time on these #8000m expeditions is spent preparing our bodies to tolerate thin air and perform at altitude. #Everest, at 8,848m, is closer to a 9,000m peak than it is to most 8,000ers, so it requires even more time. . Can't complain, we're having fun. Today @brooks.entwistle, @chadpeele and I went for a stroll (pictured). . Tomorrow the climbing begins! We're headed to the #NorthCol to cache gear, climb some fixed rope and scope #skiing conditions. No illusions of grandeur, but we're hoping for a few turns below the col if we have the time and conditions #🍕🍟! @alpenglowexpeditions #AdventureDoneRight #Tibet #Northside #Everest2017 #strapinventureout

We just need some lawn chairs and a couple Mai Tai's and we'd be set. @chadpeele @monica_piris #acclimatizing #EverestBaseCamp #notaswarmasitlooks #AdventureDoneRight . Check out my blog more on acclimatization on #8000m peaks. Zebblais.com/blog (🔗in profile) (at Everest Base Camp)
