May 10, 2006

Just back this afternoon from two nights at the North Col, which sits at 23,000ft. The weather has been great in the morning so yesterday we took a hike up the fixed lines towards camp two. Some in the group actually went all the way to camp two 25,000ft. I went about 3/4 of the way up as I was feeling good and didn't want to push it two days in a row. The views from the ridge were spectacular. The afternoon the snow closed in and we were confined to our tents until this morning. There are many teams moving up to high camp to attempt the summit tonight. Our team is now between ABC and BC.
Tomorrow I am heading down to BC with the rest of the group for some recovery, eat well, and sleep, before we consider our summit options.
Will write another note when I get back to BC.
