Hardwear Sessions

The team are resting at basecamp at the moment while we all wait for better weather. I woke this morning to a thick layer of snow all over Basecamp and the winds up high are howling.

The team are all keeping busy with daily walks down the valley a little bit and also up to Pumori Camp 1 as you can see from the picture above. We are also busy playing games and reading books, although my choice of book 'Dreadnaught' which so far is all about 1800 German politics is proving a bigger challenge than the mountain.

Looking into the future it looks like there may be a window of good weather from the 19th through to the 24th May so we are all keeping our fingers and toes crossed for this.

If it comes off it will be my 7th straight summit on the mountain and we are hoping to get a special fellow up the hill this year!!!
