Cybercasts

Hello friends, family and loved ones,

We had a windy white out kind of day at high camp. Snowing and blowing lots of sleet little bit of hail and gruaple. Fortunately, Gangamaa is a good cook and we’ve been eating square meals and preparing for tomorrow being clear. Everybody is in good spirits and well rested and much better Acclimatized. We’re thinking of you back home and sending our love. No pictures tonight as they don’t seem to go out well. Sweet dreams.!

All my best,

Vern Tejas

Hello friend, family and loved ones,

Today the shortcuts went out on the glacier and climbed up to about 12,000 feet. It was a beautiful stroll with only a few crevasses to jump.

Glacier is slowly receding, like many throughout the world.. The team is in good spirits and their acclimation is paying off. We’re now established in high camp. we are enjoying another great deal this time prepared by our local guides and then we’re off to bed for an early morning start tomorrow. Weather permitting we should be able to top out in four or five hours then we’re gonna come down and rest for the night and go try another peak, but it’s all depends on the weather.

We are thinking of all you back home and wishing you could be here to enjoy these lovely blue skies and white mountains. Thanks for joining in.. Hope to be able to get a Cyber Cast out tomorrow. Good night from high camp!

All our best,

Vern Tejas and the Shortcuts!

Friends, family, and loved ones,

We climbed Malchin peak and were rewarded with a spectacular view of our goal Mt. Khüite. We got out on the trail at 8 am to make use of the early morning good weather.  We had a happy trail.

It was a mellow moraine walk to the base of Malchin. Another 4 hours of pressure breathing and rest stepping put us on the summit

We will practice glacier travel techniques and self arrest tomorrow.  Follow the action right here.

All our best,

Vern Tejas
