The team.

Joshua reports Sun­day the 19^th: ​“The last two days the weath­er has been stormy here. We got 3 inch­es of snow in Base Camp, how­ev­er yes­ter­day we did our acclima­ti­za­tion hike to Cana­da camp and are keep­ing on sched­ule the best we can.

Cana­da carry.

“Today, Sun­day, the sit­u­a­tion has­n’t improved, the teams that tried the sum­mit report­ed 2 feet of snow on the windy cor­ner and all of them turned around. But, we will wait and con­di­tions should improve as we move up the mountain.

“Our deci­sion is to use our extra day and wait in Base Camp on Sun­day. On the 20^th we are going to try to move up to Camp 1. Every­body is in a good shape for the move. Despite the bad weath­er we had a great expe­ri­ence here in Base Camp. Some of the out­fit­ters got togeth­er and orga­nized a movie pro­jec­tion, which was per­fect for our rest day!

“Below Rory is enjoy­ing the con­cert that opened the movie.” Stay tuned for more as they make their way up!
