They’re heading up! This morning the group left at 2am, they’ve passed Camp 1 and are heading to Camp 2 for lunch.
Depending on the weather, they’ll either continue the next day to Camp 3 or rest before tackling the Lhotse face followed by the summit ridge for Everest or the couloir for Lhotse. Everyone was excited to leave base camp to complete what they started, now 5 weeks ago.
