From a series of dispatches from the Alpine Ascents 2007 Everest Expedition team.
Hello Friends, Family, and Loved Ones,
It was an early morning as we got up, ate our breakfast, and got our gear ready to move up to Camp 1. The icefall has been moving quite a bit recently due to warm weather conditions. However, it stayed in place for us, which we very much appreciated. The morning started off windy but mellowed out through the day. The north wind coming in from Tibet kept the Indian clouds at bay and we ended up with a very bright, sunny, beautiful day to come up through the icefall. Everyone was feeling their oats. We moved slowly but with good efficiency, and we were able to get up to Camp 1 in roughly seven hours for the slowest part of the team. So we did really well and everyone is feeling much more acclimatized. Our acclimatization schedule is paying off.
We came into camp with Nima fixing hot soup for us, and then everyone lay down and took a siesta. It was a wonderful dry afternoon that helped us dry out socks and clothes. Everyone had a very enjoyable evening.
Ciao for now from Vern Tejas
Camp 1
