January 2025

On day four at Deurali, a snowstorm closed in and our guide Mingma made the call to stay put rather than push to MBC. He was right. We woke to clear skies at 4am, hiked to base camp in perfect conditions, and had the sanctuary almost entirely to ourselves. His judgment at altitude is something I trusted completely by that point.

November 2024

Pemba adjusted our pace without a word when I started struggling at 3,600m on day three. He just slowed down and started pointing out things — a lammergeier overhead, a mani wall we would have walked past. We reached base camp at 5:45am with nobody else there. I stood in the middle of the sanctuary and cried. Not from exhaustion. From something else entirely.
