Alpine Ascents 2013 Everest Team Resting in Camp 1

Our first rotation is underway!!

The team rounded the Puja yesterday morning at 4am on their way to Camp 1. Fresh snow and cloud cover made for cooler than usual travel conditions, perfect when you are on the move. The Khumbu Icefall cascades down Everest and nearly lands in our Base Camp. I could literally throw a stone to the crampon point where our team spikes up in preparation to enter the intimidating terrain.
