 Mt Everest 2006: Alpine Ascents Everest 2006: Camp Two | |||||

Camp II 6400m: Well today was a new day and it's been a beautiful one. We're all here in CII and the sun is just beginning to drop quickly on the horizon. There was a lot of activity on the route between CI and CII today. Dozens of Sherpa were out carrying loads from BC to CII as well as a few climbers ascending to CII then back to CI. We appear to be the only climbers in CII tonight though many camps are busy with Sherpa readying for incoming teams. The group feels very good this afternoon- better than expected- and better than they did yesterday on the acclimatization move. So that's a good thing! Hopefully the sleeping will go well also. Ang Tshering and Chuldim are here cooking for us and the camp is spectacular especially on a day like today. Everyone's relishing the first views of the SW Face and Lhotse Face here at 21,000+ feet in the Cwm. We'll be in touch soon.
