We made it to 11,000' Camp last night! Even though our packs were lighter after our cache yesterday, the walk uphill wasn’t easy. The team put in the work to make it to camp before flurries of snow started to fall. Making it to camp was only half the work and we worked into the early hours of the morning setting up tents, melting snow for water, and cooking dinner. The team is settled into our new camp and we couldn’t be more excited to crawl into our sleeping bags!

I would never do what you are doing. I hate being 3 feet off the ground. The beauty of the surroundings must make the trip worth while, let alone the fielding of pride as you ascend toward the peak. I do hope this doesn’t give you ideas of getting back to Bangladesh to try Annapurna again or any of those other peaks. How about climbimg some peaks in Kansas.
