Day 37 – Latest Update

May 16

Posted by

Received an SMS from Grant from Intermediate Camp at 5700m.

Apparently, he trekked up there in a quick time of 3 hours, and is feeling strong. He will push up to ABC tomorrow, May 17th. And then make a day hike up to North Col before coming down to ABC, or BC depending on how long a day he wants to have.

NB: Remember; it’s 21 km of really rough up and down terrain from ABC ( 6400m ) to Basecamp ( 5200m)

    You could impress your bosses with a pic with a Norwegian flag as its Norway day on May 17. You’ll definitely get a payrise.

    Hey Granty
    Hope the weather is better up there than it is here in Stratty. Been persisting down for a month. Poor old moos are up to their eyeballs in shite.
    Anyway, the best of luck from the Stratty Mills clan and don’t take too long about it as you’re already starting to look like Jack!!!
