Our C2 team moved up the Lhotse face to C3 today, joining the climbers who have been at C3 for the last few nights. Climbing conditions on the Lhotse Face were excellent with new snow making for easy travel. Easy is a relative term at over 7000 meters!

Climbers at C3 now include our Lhotse team Wolfe and Francisco, Everest climbers Remy, Francesco, Mario (Croatia), Akash, Jessica H, Hemanshu, Clayton, Asma, Malu, Mario (Ecuador), and Venessa, guides Ossy and Tomi, and our amazing Sherpa team.

Moving to the South Col (camp 4) is tomorrow’s goal, with this team’s first summit window in just two days time.

Our Western Guided Team plus Damien and one other climber are at basecamp in preparation for our third summit wave.

Cheers,

CTSS Team
