Team A on summit push 8PM

Written by  Himalayan Ascent

It’s happening for Team A! Allan, Mark, Michael, Raul and Stephen are currently at Camp 1 on their climb up to the summit. Jangbu is part of the fixing team and led the route to Camp 2.7 today.

However, the conditions aren’t too great for the final summit ridge climb. There is still too much snow on the ridge after Cyclone Phailin, in addition to some recent fresh snow. Whether the fixing team will be able to complete the route tomorrow is uncertain.

Unfortunately time is ticking for Team A with strong winds expected next week to inhibit later summit attempts. The effects of Cyclone Phailin still linger here…

Meanwhile Lakpa, Christine and Greg are at Camp 2 on their acclimatisation round. Candace will join them tomorrow, she is at Camp 1 now.

Jack, Tom and Noel returned from Camp 1 and 2 yesterday, and they will hike down to Pangbouche tomorrow. With the expected wind delays, the boys are dropping to lower altitude for 3 days of good rest.
