Hello Everyone,

Solid progress on the hill today and all going swimmingly well. (Perhaps that isn’t the best adjective given the team are doing the opposite of swimming!?)

Our First Wave of Climbers (including the IFMGA Sherpa team, Private IFMGA Sherpa climbers & Personal Sherpa climbers as well as Private Team Fahad and Guide Ossy) moved up the Lhotse Face to Camp 3 today where they are all resting on oxygen. That steady flow of Os will give them a really good nights’ sleep so that their bodies are well prepped for the big days ahead. Tomorrow they will move on up to the South Col.

Mariam our Everest/Lhotse combo climber moved up from Camp 1 up to Camp 2 and our Second Wave; (being our Western Guided team & our Private Speed Ascent Team; Ed and Tendi) left Base Camp before dawn, climbed through the icefall and have safely arrived in Camp 1. (Ed and Tendi moved straight through to Camp 2)

Everyone doing extremely well and we are really pleased with their strength and climbing style. While Base Camp is feeling very quiet we are looking forward to plenty of excitement as our team’s progress in their summit bids!

Stay tuned,

Cheers
Caroline
