Resting at Camp 2
The summit push is on for Arabs With Altitude. The team headed into the Khumbu Icefall at 4am yesterday, beginning their 3rd and final rotation up Everest. Unlike other forays up the mountain, the team did not stop to sleep in Camp 1, but instead scaled an extra 500 meters to Camp 2.
It was a long, gruelling climb, but all members of the team made it safely. Today they are resting and building their strength for tomorrow’s steep climb up the Lhotse Face to Camp 3 at 7200 meters.
The team is still on schedule to summit May 21st-23rd. The weather forecasts are looking favorable, with wind speeds decreasing over the coming week.
