The team on the mountain (so our Private IFMGA Sherpa Guided climbers & most of our Personal Sherpa Climbers) are having lunch in the stunning Western CWM today at Camp 2 before dropping back to Camp 1 to sleep, they’ll move up to Camp 2 tomorrow for another night before returning to Base Camp.
Our IFMGA Sherpa Guided Team are currently at Camp 1.
You can an idea of what the climbing is like in the Western CWM check out our route overviews on our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WTTGuUGT7A&list=PLMz_kRmPTvqWaiXsJ-OVFw-ViMzHAzyjW
Our Western Guided Climbers are having a full rest day today so hot showers, yummy food and afternoon naps!
Perfect weather both at Base Camp & on the mountain.
Lead Guide Casey reports a pretty normal route through the icefall, with only a few ladders but a more circuitous route from Camp 1 to 2 than in previous seasons.
Everyone moving strong.
Cheers
CTSS Team
