Bart reports: The day began with a wake up time of 1:30 am, breakfast at 2:00 am, and departure at 3:00 am. The route through the Icefall this year was steeper and was more difficult than last year.
To his surprise, when he got to Camp 1 at 8:00 am his time was exactly the same as last year, five hours. The views are breathtaking! He’s so excited to be there. They will spending two nights there before moving up to Camp 2.
