Hi Lance, beautiful video. That was very high at 5k++ altitude 🥶 Did you have any trouble carrying the backpack without porter? and what kind of workout did you work on prior to the trek?
haha yes this Gokyo Ri is higher than Everest base camp if by altitude height. but still it's consider the little one among all the 6000-8000+m mountains around it. I did struggled a little carrying the backpack, so I will always stop for break. I do not perform any weight training prior to my trip but I consistently hike every week + weekly workout 2-3 times (just strength training). a good backpack play a role also in my opinion. have to get those that support your back and waist very well. otherwise could really get injured with heavy loads.
