Yesterday the team went up to the base of the mountain to do an acclimatization day/snow school to get some more height and create more of those precious red blood cells and spend a few hours learning, reinforcing and honing the technical skills needed for the climb ahead. They then dropped back down to Terskol village for a good night’s sleep. Mission accomplished with lots of smiles! (as you can see)

Today the team are waking up, having a hearty breakfast and heading back uphill where they will move up to the mountain huts and do a short acclimatization climb. All eyes on the weather for the summit climb to begin.

Best,
Caroline
