Elevation: 19,600'
Hello from Camp 3, Colera!
Today, we woke up to a beautiful day with low clouds blanketing the valley below us. We packed all our gear and headed uphill. We walked in and out of cloud cover with the slightest breeze. We all appreciated the cooler temps and reprieve from the harsh sun.
After a few hours, we arrived at 19,600 feet. Everyone was feeling great, and we all worked together to get our tents set up.
Shortly after we arrived, the clouds filled in and the thunder rolled. Every time we’d hear the rumble, the whole camp would yell “tranquilo” which definitely helped because the clouds moved by and now, we have clear skies again.
We are all tucked in our tents and ready for our early morning start for the summit. Here we go!!
