Makalu team back at base camp 9AM

Written by  Himalayan Ascent

Despite mild wind weather predictions, strong winds prevented the Makalu team from reaching Camp 3 on the 15th. Camp 3 sits on the Makalu la, a pass or saddle that is exposed to winds.

We heard reports of some teams already at Camp 3 who were unable to leave their tents, and other braver teams who managed to push pass the winds to climb to Camp 4 that day. Kudos to them!! Having now missed the 17th-18th summit window, Lakpa, Chris, Vance, Ngima and Galden are back in base camp to wait for the next oppportunity.
