Life at Basecamp

Posted on January 19, 2026 | Cybercasts
Hola! Today we had a leisurely breakfast then geared up and went a bit up the route on an acclimation hike. Views were good and wind was blowing! Back down in camp we had a delicious lunch, then reviewed gear and skills for the climb including crampons, walking technique, and self arrest. Some down time to organize before an early dinner, and talking through the plan and logistics for tomorrow’s summit attempt! We’re getting up dark and early so you’ll hear from everyone once we are all back down and off the mountain. Thanks for following along and wish us good weather!
