Camp 3

I received my call from Bart this morning at 1:00 am. telling me he had arrived at Camp 3.

As expected, he was exhausted. I just spoke to him and I could tell his breathing was a little labored. IMG chooses to put their camp 500 feet above the designated Camp 3 so that their climb on summit day isn’t as far. He told me it took him two hours to go that extra 500 feet.

He is now trying to get some needed sleep and will head back down to Camp 2 where they will spend one night, then back to EBC.

  1. If you can make it to Camp 3 and spend the night without O’s, you are ready and able to make the summit!!! Congratulations Bart on this difficult and worthy milestone. Get down to EBC safe and we will be cheering you on in a few days.
