Camp 2

I’m happy to report that Bart’s trek to Camp 2 went well; it took about three and a half hours.  He felt good.  It’s still very windy but that should change within the next 12 hours.

They are at the top of the Western Cwm looking up the Lhotse face.   Today the sherpa will begin putting in the route up the face.  As Bart is telling me this, his excitement is that of a kid experiencing his first Christmas.  He cannot believe that he is finally there, seeing all these places that he has read about for so many years.
