Hola a todos,
Jacob "the Boss" Schmidtz called from his sat phone. The group is at CII, called "the chopper camp",at 18.000 ft approx. "Everyone is perfecto, it´s a pretty strong team", were his words.
They will do a carry to CIII, then rest for one day. Then go for the final push. I am attaching a pic of CII. At that altitude you really get a taste of this big mountain, as wind and cold and of course altitude show their power. Bu it is also where the most awesome landscape, clear skies of the purest blue, and the real dimensions of the place appear. And when the leadership and knowledge of the guides provide the safety margin that we are proud of.
I will post news soon, stay tuned...
