Team Pelados tucks into bed at Camp 2 after a glorious day moving up the mountain

Hello there friends, family, and loved ones, this is Team Pelados calling from Camp 2. We’ve been able to work our way up the hill. We’re pretty high now (5,400 meters) and have just had a good dinner. We’re tucking into bed. Everybody’s feeling the altitude, but strong and in good spirits.

We’re hoping tomorrow to move our food and fuel even higher up the mountain to our next Camp. You can join us tomorrow and see how we do.

Today actually was quite glorious, clouds burned off, snow stopped coming down, and the winds even died down for awhile and it was quite a glorious day. We had breakfast outside and lunch outside, of soup and quesadillas, and now we’re, like I said, just tucking in after a good dinner.

But like I say, it’s getting a little thin up here and we’re a little more breathless, but we’re doing fine. So thanks for tuning in and please come again tomorrow. Ta ta for now!

  • Is My Training Working?

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 […]
