Guide Michael Horst Rounding the Puja |
The Arabs With Altitude rounded the Base Camp Puja early this morning in route to Camp 2 on their Summit Rotation. The Khumbu Icefall is now behind them and they are hydrating and snack in Camp 1 before continuing on to Camp 2. Training and acclimatization make it possible for our climbers to make it all the way to Advanced Base Camp on the first day of their Summit Rotation. It can get really hot in the Western Cwm above Camp 1, but luckily there is some cloud cover to keep them cool. Although the clouds do appear to be burning off right now. Our team may have to resort to Vern Tejas's time tested technique of melting snow under the helmet :-)
