We have had a busy few days. A carry and move to Camp 1 at 16, 500′. Then a carry to our Camp 2, check also known as Guanacos Camp 3, at 18,000′.<\/p>\n
We have been dodging lightening, thunder, high winds and snow squalls along the way.<\/p>\n
We are now entering very serious altitude. Thus far I am pleased with how my body is performing at altitude and also with the loads. But we have a lot of altitude to go. The team is performing well also.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we move to our Camp 2 then a carry and move to High Camp on Thursday and Friday. That would put our summit bid over the weekend weather permitting.<\/p>\n
I have had significant trouble getting a reliable satellite signal with all the towering rock walls around thus the few dispatches. I hope it will improve up higher.<\/p>\n
As regular followers know, this is all about Alzheimer’s awareness and fund raising.<\/p>\n
May I ask that you tell a friend and ask them to tell a friend about our 7 Summits Climb for Alzheimer’s?<\/p>\n
Together we make this happen.<\/p>\n
Climb On!
