After camping near a lake on the way to Renjo La they started a 500m ascent up to the pass. This will take them to 5300m which is the same as Base camp. This will mean they are well acclimatised when they actually do arrive at Everest Base Camp. It could also give the advantage that from Base Camp Everest they can head straight up to camp 1 and sleep there!
