Climb-it for Climate - Everest Base Camp

Back on the trail, the 2015 Climb it for Climate volunteers are now above the Himalayan tree line. As the high mountain peaks get closer, and the views more and more stunning, the thin air, cold weather and steep trails are presenting their own challenges to the AYCC team.

Now just a shot walk from their goal at Everest Base Camp, the team has pushed on up the path, past the snowline and to the famous Khumbu Glacier that leads to the base of Mount Everest itself.

For Cat Tait, from Sydney, the climb past 5000m has been presenting a tough challenge. But, the support she received from friends and family in her drive to raise money for AYCC kept her pushing to the top.
