Before the sun rises, the team is going to leave the warmth of the sleeping bags, force some tea into their stomachs and face the hostile atmosphere of the 6.000m high camp. Even before that, the guides will be ready, melting snow and preparing everything for the summit push. Then it is one or two hours of really cold walking, usually in silence, with headlamps on, and every part of the body covered. But then the sun goes up, warming climbers and revealing the awesome landscape around. THen is the roof of this hemisphere! -highest hill in the world outside the Himalayas-.
Seven of the climbers will try the summit with guide Calvin. I attach a previous picture so you can see the place. I will write with news tomorrow!
