May 12 Team Moved up to Camp 3/14,200ft

The climbers packed everything up and climbed up around Windy Corner and continued to Camp 3 at 14,200 ft! This is always an important move and the summit comes into view and starts to look attainable by the time you get that high.  It’s still over 6000 vertical feet above them, and theres a lot of climbing to do.  They settled into camp and had a nice big dinner and plan to have a relatively light day tomorrow after todays big effort.  The weather cooperated and they came around “Windy Corner” in calm conditions and blue skies above.

 

Here’s Carsten checking in from Camp 3 this evening, his satellite phone call is cut short, but it’s good to hear his voice…

  1. he May 12th team moved on up to Camp 2 today at 11,000ft/3300meters. Climber Mohit Sial does a great job of describing thier jouney today up the glacier in the evening dispatch from the team. Unfortunately the satellite phone call drops part way through, but it’s still great to hear from the climbers. Here’s Mohit…
    Hope and pray you saw Mohit Sial 🙏
