After five years, we knew we had to return to try and run Nepal's Three Passes in one day. But there were questions, Kim had been through a year of cancer treatment and my years were starting to show.
Did we do it? Kind of.

Trail Running Nepal's Three Passes

Trail running Nepal's Three Passes in the Khumbu Valley in one day was our goal after previously doing it in two days.

@janpipek Thanks! It was so good I'm going right back in a couple weeks. 😁 If you haven't been, go. If you have been, are you going back?

The plan was to do the three passes (with detours, not counting the approach) in standard ~4-5 days. In the end, Kongma La was just enough for my slow acclimation. Perhaps next time...

@janpipek Kongma La is hard. Now you have experience and it'll help for next time.
