Whether our pack horses can join us depends on how much snow covers the ground. When we arrive at Base Camp, we'll put up our tents have a warm meal and go over tomorrow’s peak climbing strategy.

Take a good and hearty breakfast, and gear up for your summit attempt. Our climb to the summit usually takes about 8 hours. We'll need to be roped up and use crampons and an ice axe. There's a final steep ridge to cross before reaching the small peak. From the top of Yala Peak, we'll enjoy breathtaking views of Shishapangma, Dorje Lakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Thserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, and many other Tibetan mountains. Once we've reached the summit, we'll head back to Base Camp and continue on to Kyanjin Gompa. Dinner and overnight stay back at the teahouse in Kyanjin Gompa.
