Day 18: Below Renjo La (5100m)
(Trekking: approx 4 hours)
As with our previous pass crossings we have the opportunity to take it easy this morning before setting off towards Renjo La. There is another opportunity to ascend Gokyo Peak again for the sunrise before breakfast. The rest of the morning is free and we depart after an early lunch and follow the trail that contours above the northern shore of the lake to the old moraines of the glacier below Renjo Pass. From here we climb steeply on a good trail up to the lip of an old glacier valley strewn with boulders and glacial debris. Keeping to the right of the valley we ascend less steeply to reach camp opposite the large glacial snowfield below two unnamed peaks (5625m and 5906m)
