We have had a couple of days resting in Base Camp preparing oxygen masks
and food for our next (and penultimate) journey high.
On Thursday we will head up to Camp 1 again for a sleep before heading
through the icefall to Camp 2 for a sleep. On Saturday we will try and tag Camp
3 before retuning to Camp 2 again to sleep. On Sunday morning we will head down
to Base Camp again to consolidate, assess the weather and rest before heading
out for the summit which will take five days.

We are all good and looking forward to getting on the way again. The
mountain is majestic and very appealing to us all in spite of the objective
dangers that we must face in the steep ice fall between Camp 1 and Camp 2.
Our fellow climbers have returned from their last rotation before the
summit today and they are all well if a little tired. It was good to listen to
their stories. From my perspective it will be good to get high again and get
the job done.
Be Great, Be Safe. See you when you get back.
