The other picture shows a view looking across base camp and up the route towards the ice field and Camp One about 3.5hrs beyond. A 1pm radio check confirmed all climbers were still doing well, a breezy hike today with winds around 30km but blue sky with a standing cloud over the mountain.
It’ll be a cool night for the team with the forecast low -10C, but they’re all well prepared with their Sherpa gear, Mountain Hardware tents, MSR stoves and as a last resort each other to snuggle up to…..and that’s why I’m staying at base camp!

Hey dad (Don), we're watching you closely from Belize. It sounds like the weather up there is a bit cooler than here (+28C today). I'm not sure if you can get beer up there but there's plenty here on the beach. Keep up the good pace and we'll keep an eye on the blog!
Love Tanya and Joel
Hi Brad,
I get cold just walking to the car then I think of you and the guys up on the mountain! I hope there will be enough oxygen up there to keep all of your 50 birthday candles lit on the 31st!
Love, Theresa
Hi Brad
We have been tracking your moves and grooves.
I have been skiing at Sun Peaks and have had some sensations of the altitude changes. I can't imagine what you are experiencing!! Theresa has commented that she hopes there will be enough o2 to keep your 50 BD candles lit. I just hope you will have enough e o2 to blow them out:))!!
Stay safe, calm and focused. We all love you and look forward to celebrating your successes when you return.
Love Tracey, Marty, Anna and James
Hi Kevin and Brad:
We are very proud of you both and think of you everyday. We are tracking you on Spot and love to hear any news from the camp telling us how you are doing. Happy 50th Birthday Brad! I wish we were there to celebrate with you. We are sending our love and can't wait to celebrate your success!!
Love,
Christine and Judy
