Lots of movement on Everest over the last 24 hours, let’s get all caught up!

Up at Camp 2, our Private Sherpa Guided teams moved in for the night last night, this will be their highest elevation for sleeping so far this expedition.

In Camp 1 is our IFMGA Sherpa Guided team, they hiked up to Camp 2 yesterday before returning to Camp 1 for the night.

Down in Basecamp, the Western Guided team has rested up a few days after spending 3 nights at Camp 1. Today they’re planning on doing a short hike near Basecamp to keep the acclimation process going in preparation for their next rotation through the icefall, coming up in just a few days.

Even while relaxing around base camp, the eye is on the prize and our team keeps training to improve their efficiency. The teams have been refining their skills for ascending steep ice on fixed lines and are aiming to make each trip up the mountain more efficient. Not only does efficiency save energy for the summit bid, but it decreases the amount of time spent in the icefall and therefore increases the overall safety of the team. Strong work Team!

Cheers,

CTSS Team
