Summit Rotation

Greg got the new weather report, called a quick staff meeting, and then suddenly the climbers were being summoned for an unscheduled meeting.

The weather report is giving us the weather windows we need to get us all up there in two teams. My team will leave at 3:00 in the morning and go directly to Camp 2. Team 2 will leave at 4:00 am and go to Camp 1.

I’ll spend a night at Camp 2, then climb up to Camp 3. I’ll spend another night on oxygen at Camp 3, then climb to Camp 4. I should get to Camp 4 by noon, then rest all day on oxygen there until I start for the summit about 9:00 that night, hoping to summit early the morning of the 18th of May.

I’ll check in with Jude at each camp by sat phone and she will update the blog with my progress.

Send your energy my way, please!  I will need it!  With utmost gratitude.

Yours truly,

Bart
