Above are some photos of the hike up to Advanced Base Camp and the camp itself.
Hi All, I have just seen this on the Adventure Peaks web site:
12th April, At present they are unable to send or receive emails due to the angle and location of the satellite receiver. This situation should be rectified when they move up to ABC.
I was wondering why we hadn't heard anything from Max. It seems all is well. In any case, the early weeks of moving up and down the mountain are generally the least exciting. Though, it must be said, that the hike from Base Camp to Advanced Base Camp is terribly tiring. It is 15 miles long and goes from about 17k feet to about 21k feet. Over the course of the expedition they will do this hike about 4 times. The first time they will spend a night along the way to acclamate and rest, but the other times they will do it in one shot. It is pretty scary because you arrive at Advanced Base Camp dead tired and you haven't even started climbing yet!!!! I hope Max gets reception soon so we can hear from him how he is doing. Best to all, Walid
