(Days 10-12):\u00a0Mostly dry. Extremely cold<\/strong> (max -15\u00b0F on Sun afternoon, min -33\u00b0F on Wed afternoon). Winds increasing (light winds from the WSW on Sun afternoon, stormy winds<\/strong> from the WSW by Mon afternoon).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Mingma Gyalje Sherpa<\/a> is resting at BC. He and his small Sherpa-only team said they reached 7300-meters, roughly at the top of the Black Pyramid. But traditional C3 is around 7,200-meter and the SST Sherpas said they reached 7050-meters, so, for me, it’s unclear on the precise altitude, other than above the rocks of the Pyramid.<\/p>\n John Snorri Sigurjonsson<\/a> with Muhammad Ali Sadpara<\/a> and his son Sajid Ali are at base camp. Their high has been Camp 2. He said this today:<\/p>\n The winter is hovering over K2. It looks like it’s going to be there until the 20th of January. The wind goes up to 250 km per hour in the higher camps. Meanwhile we are gathering energy, keeping our mindset focused and spirit positive for next ascent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-08-at-Friday-Jan-800.23-AM-1-640x319.jpg\")
