Mike and Fred had a long difficult windy night in the tent at 6’800m. They hope it will stop blowing soon and the summit push can continue. But for now it’s time for a good breakfast and after they will continue their ascension up to Camp 2 at 7’500.

We have had very strong winds on Makalu the past 3 days. Yesterday myself and Fred climbed to Camp 2 to check our tent. We found our tent still standing which was great news because all other equipment we need for the summit push is in the tent.
The climb went very well and we feel well rested and acclimatised. the only thing we need now is good weather.
