  • BASE CAMP!

    BASE CAMP!

    A.P. 2 (Dec 3- 22, 2022)

    This amazing team got to Base Camp yesterday!

    They are all doing fine and  have already got  to 13,800 feet! 

    They will spend about 3 nights at Base Camp.

    The first day at Base Camp is always a rest day and a good occasion to take a bath and go for a short walk. They divide the expedition loads to carry to the next camp: community gear, fuel, food and individual lunches. After resting at Base Camp, the plan will be to carry to Camp 1 and down to Base Camp again to hopefully move up the next day.

    Florencia, one of the guides sent us this nice pic !

    We’ll share more news as soon as we hear back from them.
