The group climbed to Camp Nido today at 5500m and have returned to Base Camp – an 8.5 hr round trip. Sean said that everyone is strong and looking good for the summit attempt this week.
They will spend tomorrow resting at BC and the plan is then to depart for Nido, spend two nights there and attempt the summit on Thursday morning. The winds are still very strong next week but Thursday seems to be the only day when they can go for it.
Hey Miki, Molly & Franz

Hey all,
I have just checked in to read the latest updates from my warm office, hot coffee in hand and peanut butter rice cakes on the side and there aren’t any 70km/h gusts to contend with. Jealous? 😉 I thought not. 🙂 All the best as you head towards the summit. Thinking of you especially M & M. Lots of love and a big hug. xx
Looks like you’re all strong, focussed and motivated. Good luck for the summit – Marlette and Miki… with you in spirit!!!
Hello Heidi!!!

Enjoy every minute and we all know you can do it! You made us so proud the last time.
Good luck, wishing you strength and all the energy possible xxx
Mien, You are in our thoughts, we love you a lot and know you can do it. Take lots and lots of pictures. Vasbyt, Pa
To Miki, Marlette and the rest of the team. You guys rock … uhm pardon the pun.
Here’s another quote that will hopefully inspire you to greater heights:
“In a sense everything that is exists to climb. All evolution is a climbing towards a higher form. Climbing for life as it reaches towards the consciousness, towards the spirit. We have always honored the high places because we sense them to be the homes of gods. In the mountains there is the promise of… something unexplainable. A higher place of awareness, a spirit that soars. So we climb… and in climbing there is more than a metaphor; there is a means of discovery.”
— Rob Parker
Good luck for the summit push guys, will pray that the weather holds!!! Just do the Madiba shuffle with the Wiseman.
