Today, we left for our summit bid! By the time you are reading this, we’ll already be up at the North Col. 

Here is the planned itinerary:

Thursday, May 19th: climb to the North Col @7000m

Friday, May 20th: climb to camp 2 @7800m

Saturday, May 21st: climb to camp 3 @8300m

Sunday, May 22nd: attempt the summit @8848m, and return to the North Col

Monday, May 23rd: return to ABC

I’ll have a satellite phone and will try to call in updates from each camp if possible.  

It just got real!
