Arabs With Altitude at Camp 3
Scaling 700m of glacial blue ice, Arabs With Altitude safely made their way to Camp 3 today. Camp 3 sits directly on the steep Lhotse Face. Platforms for the tents must be chipped out of the ice, and anchored into a 30-degree slope.
Tonight, the team will hydrate and rest in preparation for tomorrow’s climb to Camp 4 at the South Col, less than 1000m from the summit.
The guys have been in high spirits since hearing the news that Arabs With Altitude teammate Raha Moharrak summited Mt. Everest yesterday. She is the first female from Saudi and the youngest Arab to climb Everest. The team crossed paths with Raha on the mountain today and congratulated her on an amazing achievement.
The weather has been perfect for climbing, and hopefully the conditions will continue to cooperate. May 22nd is the target date for summiting. Every day brings the summit closer for Moe, Raed, and Masoud, and they are anxious to take their turn on the top of the world.
