Sebastian just called with the evening update from High Camp. The weather, as expected, wasn't cooperative today. Snow and wind kept them in camp waiting today. They are doing great and still in good spirits on day one of their weather delay, it may be a few more days up there. Waiting for the weather is a big part of the big mountain game. They are in the right spot, and can wait for several days waiting for a good day.
Mark decided he'd had enough and decided to come on home. He is descending this evening with another guide.

ReplyDeleteChris, keep strong! Waiting must be tough, especially at 17,000 ft but we know you have it in you....me, mum, dad, Jon, Phil, Yus, Soraya and everyone else is thinking of you lots right now. We are all hoping for a break in the weather for you. Lots of Love from 'The Gang' x
ReplyDeleteIt must be frustrating sitting in your tent, feeling cold and tired and waiting for a good weather to come. But patience Stuart,(and you have lots of that)good things come to those who wait. Sit tight, be strong, you'll be up there in the summit soon.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you lots...
Which guide came down with Mark? How is the rest of the team affected by having a larger guide-to-climber ratio when a guide has to descend?
ReplyDeleteMazel Tov to Mark the middle aged mountain musketeer, this mountain was far too easy for him and had much more important things to tend to back home like the party, fathers day and of course the football!!
