Arrived ABC (6380m yesterday from IC< taking 4 hr 40 mins. SO hot it’s suffocating – like being in my car without the airconditioning in Singapore! Another headache upon arrival so popped some ibuprofen and felt better. Today 28th April is a rest day where i will attempt to clean myself up with a few wet ones ( which would be the marker ” Radioactive – Dispose with Care!”) and have a look around. Axe Out
Great dispatches. Really enjoying the video and updates. From a fellow Kiwi. Please give my regards to Jim Morrow.

Hey Grant,
Keep up the great progress, but don’t feel obliged to go into too much detail on the personal hygene. 😉

PS. I hope you don’t smell like yak sh*t when you get back.

Love the video clips and blogs but how you have the energy to send them is testament to your stamina, training and tenacity. I remeber well the hygiene problems on Aconcagua and how good the Pizza and beers were when in Mendoza when we got down! Keep those thoughts in mind on the way up! Stay strong and well AND safe my old buddy. Looking forward to those summit pics but remember getting up there is optional — getting down is MANDITORY!!
