We did the three passes in Nov. Thanks for your earlier posts. They were quite helpful. The weather in Nov. was great, mostly clear skies. Kal Patthar was fantastic. We skipped EBC, but have no regrets about that. 17 miles and Kal Patthar in the same day is killing it for that altitude. I had no problem with headaches, but I would be pretty physically drained at the end of the day. I probably have 35+ years on you though. Gokyo Ri was socked in when we were there unfortunately.
Sounds like a great trip! EBC is just a rock so doing Kala Patthar over EBC was the right choice. The headaches were self inflicted since we did over 6k feet elevation on day 2. I bet the view from Gokyo Ri is epic, wish we could have seen it!
Great video Very well documented. My wife and I did EBC several years ago and it was by far the best trek we have done (also did Kilimanjaro and Inca Trail to MP). I don't know how you stayed warm enough with shorts and sun hoodie. I had base layer and long pants on the bottom, and wool base layer, fleece, and down jacket on top on the final morning. It was COLD until the sun came out and then we shed the layers. I'm glad you enjoyed the trek. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks for tuning in! EBC is epic! Unless its below 35F I always hike in shorts. As long as you keep moving its pretty easy to stay warm. Obviously we had layers to throw in if need be but really only used them when we stopped or were at a pass/summit.
Juice and Darwin, what a mind-blowing journey, the views from base camp were utterly magnificent! Although your video captures were amazing, I'm sure being there is a sight to behold, that you'll never forget! Juice, again, thank you for this mesmerizing 2 part video!
Beautiful story and photography. I have two questions; who was filming you when you were both in the shot and did you have a porter or were you carrying all of your gear in your backpacks. Congrats on a great trip.
Thanks for watching! We didn’t have a videographer or a porter. The shots were set up on small tripods and then we walk by. Some panning or camera movements are added in post.
Enjoyed the video. Considering EBC in the spring. Quick question. Did you pack/Fly with trekking poles or purchase when you arrived in Nepal? Glad to see you trekking in trail runners. A lot of other videos recommended formal boots, but I haven't hiked in boots in years. Thanks again
Thanks Tyler! We bought trekking poles when we got there. The knock off gear market in Nepal is crazy. You can get decent poles for really cheap. Most people wear boots on this trek but it’s absolutely not necessary. They just bought into the marketing hype lol.
Completely agree on the footwear. I just wore Altra Lone Peak 5s and had no problem. I think any decent trail runners are the way to go. @@juicehikes5436
What an epic trip! Good for you guys. Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for tuning in!
Great video. Im doing the same route at the end of October…can’t wait! Thanks for sharing
I just got home myself. Gokyo was the best part of the whole trip.
That's awesome! Gokyo is so good!

It was an amazing trip for sure! Thanks for watching!!
Watched your Goyko trek and was hoping for an everest view
Both were equally awesome!
Great video! I wonder if you will be interested in testing some outdoor boots?
Thanks! It depends on what kind of boots. Please send me an email ajaypickett@gmail.com
awesome clip n tips guys.. u guys were wearing shorts the entire hike from lukla>gokyo ri>EBC? its not cold even when its snowing a little for u guys?
Thanks for watching! Unless it’s below 30F shorts is usually the choice for hiking/trekking.
That's great you had awesome weather at EBC that afforded the awesome views. Special place.
We got super lucky!
17 miles in one day 🤯 you guys are incredible
Nah, pretty regular

@@juicehikes5436 good to know. Trekking poles were the one item that would potentially cause me to check a bag flying. Thanks again.

Namaste and welcome to Nepal
Namaste!
Awesome video brother enjoy 💯✌️🇳🇵
Thanks!!!
Nice. Did you do it like most people and took 8-12 days for the hiking portion.
We hiked 8 days total I think and we did both Gokyo Lakes and Everest Base Camp
Incredible!!!
Thanks Alex!
Congrats, you're a beast!!
I don't know about that but it was a great time!
Great video! Just curious why Base Camp was empty?
It was empty because the climbing season for Everest is in the spring time :)
@@Liizard. spot on!
@@juicehikes5436 And was this September you guys hiked? Planning my trip for around then
Nevermind, I just reached 12 minutes into the video haha
Bad A. 15k is a joke out here. There. Epic. No griz.
