Acclimatizing in the wind at 14,200 ft.

The team checked in Tuesday evening to report a very windy day at Camp III. The weather station at camp indicated winds to be pretty constant at 30 mph with gusts well above 40 mph. Their camp is well fortified with snow walls and everyone is doing well. This is a great place to wait out storms, as most bodies will continue acclimatizing quite well at this camp. Perhaps with a slight break in the weather, this crew can get their cache in on the ridge above 16,200 ft. For now it is a game of wait and see.

Until next time...happy trails.

  1. Hope the team are all warm and cosy in your new home at Camp III. The scenery must be amazing up there, hope you're all enjoying it and acclimatizing well. Neil, I hope you're having a fantastic time, I miss you. Thank you for your call tonight here, that was so exciting to hear you'd been able to call at all. I won't be here Friday night either, but Saturday and Sunday yes. If we get to talk great, and if not i'm sending you my love up there. Be safe. Ciara x
