I took this photo during daybreak at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal’s famous Himalayas. It was an arduous14-day trek to reach camp. Our team of 5 women climbers was led by one of the only all-female guiding crews headed by mountaineer Nirma Rai of 3 Sisters Trekking. After the trek, I spent several weeks volunteering with 3 Sisters teaching the young guides English.
