Team Arabs With Altitude Prepare to Climb Higher.

Team Arabs with Altitude has been busy at Everest Base Camp.  We spent several days training and preparing for our move up to Camp I.  The training involved moving smoothly up and down steep fixed lines, ice climbing and a variety of rappel techniques.  

Yesterday, for further acclimatization and training, we made our first move above base camp climbing a third of the way through the Khumbu Ice fall toward Camp I. 

We are resting today and watching the weather closely tentatively planning to move up to Camp I tomorrow.  The team is doing well and looking forward to climbing higher!
