Alpine Ascents Cho Oyu Autumn 2006: Camp Two

Hello there friends, family and loved ones this is Vern Tejas with a cyberblast from Team We’ll Cho Oyu. Hey it was a big day we got up early and got down late. We started from Camp 1 at about 21,000 feet and did some slightly technical ice climbing and ended up at about 23,000 feet at Camp 2. It was a big day for everyone the Sherpas, the climbers, and myself, everyone is pretty much tuckered out and heading for bed. About two o’clock in the afternoon it started snowing which really validates Michael Fagan, our weather forecaster who projected that we would see some snow, so we really appreciate the heads up. It’s still just a light dusting of snow so hopefully we will get down before the mountain gets loaded up with lots of snow. So please keep your fingers crossed for us and stay tuned to the further adventures of Team We’ll Cho Oyu. Vern
