Mount Everest Basecamp at Sunset

I summited Everest 18 years ago. This photo by Konsta Punkka appears (to me) to be taken from Pumori. It really brings me back. This photo was taken in April/May, when basecamp is fully built-out. Basecamp looks about the same size as when I climbed it. This may surprise those who think the mountain has gotten way more crowded. The fact is that the Khumbu icefall basin is large and can accomodate a lot of tents. Fun fact from Konsta, the mountain lighted up behind is actually in Tibet and the one in front in Nepal.
