Donna Mccollum climbing update #1

April 5, 2011

Last Saturday Donna was at Namche (11,000') until Monday, April 4th.  "We trekked here seven hours yesterday.  The last four uphill.  I am doing extremely well and am having no issues.  We took an acclimation hike today and I saw my first glimpse of Everest which brought me to tears.  I am on an incredibe journey and am so happy to be sharing it with you.  I love you all.  Tomorrow will be a very strenuous uphill, seven hour day to the village of Deboche.  Today we went for a 1200' uphill acclimation climb which went great.  My knees are not liking the downhills but Tiger's Balm is taking care of that problem!"
