Return to Camp 1
10 May 2005    
Back in the saddle again!
The whole team is now back at the new, moved, and very much improved Camp 1 location!
The sherpas came up early today to move and rebuild camp. They were quite successful, as all of us cozied in here can attest!
It is quite windy at the moment, but we are all hoping for lower winds tomorrow as we move up the cwm towards Camp 2.
Matt Kitchin brought his little speakers up here, so we get to listen to what I think is a great jazz fusion mix, but as Dan puts it, "how much longer for this crap?!" can't please everyone I suppose...

Till later,
Luis and the AC crew
