Camp 1 (7060 MSL)...

Today the weather was a lot better and we could now begin climbing towards Camp 1 (7060 MSL). Getting to C1 was harder then I had thought and we had to use climbing equipment to reach our target. Up until now there hasn’t been any need to use that sort of gear, but it defiantly made the hike more interesting and challenging. As we got closer to C1 it began to snow hard, but we were able to complete our job of establishing a temporarily camp for usage at a later point in the expedition.
On our way back to Advanced Base Camp I had to make several stops to throw up. All in all, the climb to C1 took about 12 hours. After dinner I taught my Sherpa’s how to play Yatzy. They loved the game and one of them became the lucky winner of a “Freia” milk chocolate.
We are scheduled to head back to Base Camp 5200 MSL in a few days. Lower altitude is needed to fully charge our human bodies.

Another day completed…
