Elevation: 14,000'
Hello Reader,
We are writing you from lower elevation. Today we packed up our camp at 17k and made the walk down to 14k camp. Packs were feeling heavy, Legs were feeling heavy, bodies were feeling heavy. It's been a big 36hrs for the team and we are all feeling it. But with each step down we feel that much better. We are already thinking of showers and food and all the comforts we gave up to come out here. It's been a crazy ride, but we still have 2 more days Of walking strong and smart to get out safely. Fingers crossed, the weather is good enough to walk in and good enough to fly in on Saturday morning.
For now We are all looking forward to a good night’s sleep not at 17k camp.
