"photo #B15 NW up the valley of the Khumbu Khola a mere braided stream from hill E of Periche at elevation of 14,000 ft. 0600AM. At last not a cloud in the sky. -- temperature below freezing. Note the sunshine on Lobuche ? Peak 6189 meters in contrast to shadow of valley. Also how stark and barren the valley is. At the lower edge of the photo is the substantial stone building of the Himalayan Rescue Association and its round garbage dump. Just above it is the hotel I'm staying at.
