Lhotse Face Looms Ahead
12 May 2005
This morning Luis slogged back up to Camp 2 from BC. Good on ya mate! The remainder of us have taken a rest day at Camp 2 in preparation for going to Camp 3 tomorrow.
Today our strong climbing sherpa team carried loads through to Camp 4 on the South Col in highly challenging conditions. The winds adjacent to Camp 3 were gusting to 70 knots according to our Climbing Sirdar, Ang Dorje. Understandably, it was hard not to get blown over at times. It is impossible not to be humbled by such selfless highly meritorious acts of physical endurance.
All going well tomorrows dispatch will be made from Camp 3! Time to go back to my Economist Magazine.
Mike for the AC Team
