Yak Camp
28 October 2004
Good afternoon everyone and Namaste from ABC, or Yak Camp, on Ama Dablam.
As I write this dispatch the other team members are settling into their tents at our highest camp so far. It's a nice afternoon and the temperatures are mild, for now anyways, until the sun goes down. Then it'll drop to 5-10 degrees below freezing.
We're spoilt tonight as two of our amazing cooks have come up for the night to cook for us.
Tomorrow should be an easier day as we move to camp 1.
For now it's re-hydrate and snack.
Till tomorrow,
Mark & the crew.....
