Day 38
Heavy snow falling at Rongbuk BC has everyone inside watching movies and drinking hot chocolates. Team Monica reappeared at BC this afternoon after their foray to 7,300m on the North Ridge pulling up just short of camp two. They are down for a rest and waiting for the weather to improve – like the rest of us!
With the weather reports stating loads of precipitation for the next 48 hours followed by 40-50 knots of wind to 7,500m for 5-10 days things are looking like Rongbuk BC will be home for a while. So it looks as though we are all going to sharpen our card skills and finish a few books before the final summit push.
