Team Clowns resting, relaxing, and trying to solve the age-old question, how many climbing clowns fit in a tent

Hey there friends, family, and loved ones, this is your Clowns calling in from Camp 2. It was a big rest day today. We’ve been making red blood cells, relaxing, and eating lots of food, and basically just getting ready for our summit push, which should be happening in the next couple days, as we work up higher.

We’ve got another camp to go up to tomorrow, and then we’re in the “go” mode as soon as the weather cooperates. So please keep your fingers crossed, and help us out.

All the clowns are feeling good. We’ve just made the first clown tent I’ve ever seen before, and how many climbers can you get into one tent. We took a photograph so hopefully we’ll be able to share that with you. So stay tuned for the adventures of the Happy, Climbing Clowns, ta ta for now.

At Alpine Ascents, we hear this question weekly. While the best answer to this question requires a comprehensive understanding of you and your objective, there are simpler ways to get a […]
