C1.5 fun - first summit!

On our acclimatization trip we summit a 7000m mountain

21 Sept: Camp 1 rest

We rested and ate and made more tent platforms for Warwick and Simona who came up, and also for the sherpas, who willingly crammed 4 into a three person tent with two sleeping bags. We were a full camp.

22 Sept: to C1.5

The fun part of the slog was the major crevasse. Chris, approaching it first commented it didn't look bad, he probably wouldn't use the rope but closer up, holy sh*t, with overhung edges and a big step up, we all used the rope across.
