Ac – departing Base Camp

Written By: sean on February 14, 2012 16 Comments

The group will leave Base Camp today for Camp Nido where they will spend tonight.  Tomorrow they will head up to the last upper camp – Camp Colera at 5870m.  Strong winds and low temperatures are a constant at these heights.  After spending Wednesday night at Colera, they will push for the summit very early Thursday morning.

The winds are stronger than usual so its going to be a fierce battle against the elements.

    Team, wish you best of luck.

    Moe, don’t take the wind lightly and don’t forget to take pictures when you’re at the summit.
