Hi friends
We have reached Concordia at 15,000’ thr junction of 4 major glacier systems. Todays walk was around 7 hours along the glacier. We are doing great.
Tomorrow we will attempt to reach K2 basecamp and back to Concordia, a long day of 12-14 hours walking. In route we will also pass by Broad peak basecamp. K2 was hiding behind cloud cover tonight at sunset!
Eric and Dan
Thanks
Eric Murphy
