What fun a new Camp 1
10 May 2005    me-6050
Here we are at our new, improved, right in the middle of the western cwm, Camp 1! We have moved to the middle of the cwm to be safe from any more avalanches. Seems like there are a few teams that still need to go to Camp 3, so there is lots of movement up the hill.
Keep your fingers crossed that the winds cooperate! Luis.
