Alpine Ascents Lhotse Team preparing to leave South Col

Our Lhotse climbers are filling up water bottles, getting on their climbing gear, and preparing to leave camp. Their path will take them slightly down from the South Col and across the Lhotse Face before reaching Lhotse Camp 4. From there they will start up toward, and into, the Lhotse Couloir. It will take a number of hours to make it up the couloir, but once they reach the top of the gully the summit of Lhotse will only be a few meters away.
