11,000ft/3,350m Camp 2

Chris called last night from Camp 2 at 11,000 ft. They moved up to camp on Friday, and yesterday made a back carry down to pick up their cache of food and fuel from about 10,000 ft on the glacier below. Yesterday was a pretty short day, and they were able to sleep in a bit before setting off to get their work done. Sebastian spent most of the morning with the sewing kit repairing a tear in the kitchen tent that occurred when they were taking it down from the previous camp. They were able to sew it all up, and they are back in business with their comfy kitchen, and social scene.
It has been a snowy and windy trip so far, but they've been able to continue on up the mountain. Today they are hoping to carry a load of food and fuel up around "Windy Corner" to make a cache and prepare to move up to the next camp. This is often a spot where you just can't travel in bad weather, so hopefully they'll get a nice day today.

    LG
