Eleventh 16,000ft Pass!
Nov 10, 2016Renjo-la Pass (17,536ft/5,345m Solu-Khumbu, Nepal) with it’s staggeringly beautiful view of Everest was my eleventh Himalayn pass over 16,000ft. Kang-la (17,939ft/5,468m Dolpo, Nepal) was the first, and I remember each and every pass and many of their details in between. Approximately three-thousand feet higher than Mt. Rainier, which I summited in 2013, each pass has taught me a little more about breathing, endurance, teamwork, courage, and the heights of our glorious planet earth.
I am beyond grateful to have climbed and trekked alongside my dear friend and mountain sister, Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita.
