Summit push

We are heading to the summit!

See the bottom of this page for the team.

20 May - to North Col

Today we head to the North Col. The weather forecast is perfect and we are is good condition.

This is our plan:

21 May - North Col rest

We stay here to acclimatize.

22 May - Camp 2 7700m

This is where we leave the comfort of North Col and really start our summit climb. At 7700m we will sleep on bottled oxygen.

23 May - Camp 3 8210m

We climb up on oxygen to our last camp and prepare for tomorrow. This is not the most comfortable camp on the mountain.

24 May - Summit?

As of writing this on the 20th, this is our plan but we always remain flexible.

As we discussed we everyone we really are feeling good, the conditions are good. We are looking forward to a safe summit. We aim to stay at 7700m after summitting.

25 May back to ABC

We will be very tired!
