To North ColOur 2010 Project Himalaya Everest Expedition 8848m dispatchesWe climb up to North Col for acclimatization 3 May - Sherpa load carryThe crew have already carried up plenty of oxygen, but there is still more to go. So another set of loads... 4 May - up to North ColBarry and myself climbed up to North Col. Barry's quote: "Everything up 'til clipping into the ropes is just a warm up" and, yes, climbing North Col is a significant notch up - welcome to the real mountain.
4 May: a small crevasse, but potentially nasty all the same. |
