Camp 2 Arrival

Well after a farewell dinner loaded with dal bhat and yak & Lakpa's
apple pie for dessert, the team were off to sleep early Saturday for
the sunrise push to two this morning.

A sunny morning was a welcome sight to the base camp crew, but made
for an exhausting climb for Kenton, Tori, Ben and the crew this last
round up the icefall. They arrived safe but weary this afternoon,
having survived an afternoon of and look forward to a day's rest and
recovery at 2.

Forecasts still project a windy but significant window for summitting
midweek, so fingers crossed, Dream Guides continues to aim skyward.


All the best to friends & family below,
Mara
