Mandy Moore Made it to Mt. Everest Base Camp as the Mountain’s Death Toll Rises
Mandy Moore just checked a massive goal off her bucket list: making it to base camp on Mt. Everest.
The This Is Us star, 35, spent more than a week trekking through the Nepal terrain to reach Everest Base Camp on Sunday, which sits at a whopping 17,700 ft. above sea level.
Moore reflected on the difficult experience on Instagram.
“Traversing this terrain has its challenges. Breathing at altitude, for instance, is not easy,” she wrote. “…Besides hydration and staying nourished, breathing is THE vital key in the fight against altitude sickness. It’s also a major takeaway that I will be employing back to the real world whether I’m in the midst of a tough workout or a weird day. Mind blown.”
Moore, who took on the trek with friends Ashley Streicher and Chase Weideman, with the help of guide Melissa Arnot Reid and Eddie Bauer, also reflected on the people who have walked those same trails before her — and those who died along the way.
“It’s impossible to be lucky enough to arrive at the foot of these mammoth peaks and not be attuned to the palpable energy of all of those who came before and lost their lives in these mountains,” she said. “The wave of emotion: respect, reverence, appreciation…that washed over us as we took in the prayer flags and yellow domed tents of basecamp AND sat on the rocks regarding the chortens that dot the hillside of the Tukla Pass the day before, profoundly.”- Source
