Namaste everyone. It is May 1st., and I'm calling from just outside our snow cave and ?? at Camp 1. So, it has snowed so much up here, when we are trying to break trail it is mid-thigh height, and almost all the tents are buried, and so, it just made alot more sense to build a snow cave. We spent about three hours building a small snow cave this morning. It's a little bit of effort at the beginning, but once it's built we don't have to be clearing it off and cleaning it off, all we have to do is make sure that the entrance is clear. So, yah, everything is good.
So we are up here with our fellow Iranian Hussein, and he's down at base camp with us. Seven Italians are also sharing our Base Camp and they came up to Camp 1 with us yesterday, and they left this morning. But we were joined by four of the Germans that we've been getting to know. We have been getting to know alot of people.
The forecast is for some nice weather tomorrow, so what we need is some really nice weather to kind of solidify the snow on the slope, fairly steep slope going from Camp 1 to Camp 2, so that's what we need. Hopefully we get that tomorrow, and if we do then either tomorrow afternoon or the following day, We will, Domhnall and I, will head up to Camp 2.
Don't know if anyone else will be joining us, hopefully we will have somebody joining us to help us break trail, but we'll see how things go. It is almost 6:00 at night, and it's still snowing, LOL, and so we're just going to have a little bite to eat. It's a little tough to be eating right now and we are so glad for some Polysporin with Lidocaine in it or a little bit of freezing in it, Our lips are cracked from the wind and the sun and so it's difficult to laugh, but it's also difficult to eat, so we put a little bit of Polysporin in, on our lips, and it makes things alot easier.
So, all is good here, hopefully everthing is good at home, everyone take care, love to you all. Bye
