Post a comment | Return to Weblog Subject: Going up Posted by Rob on 17 May 2005 10:48 GMT+1 15:33 NST There is a glint of good weather, so we are going up top Camp 2 on Tuesday 17 May. We will rest the 18th there as well. If the forecast stays good, we will move to camp 3 on the 19th and eventually try for the summit the night of the 20th. Or maybe one day later. If the forecast doesn't hold good, we will either wait at camp 2 or come down again. I've got my oxygen regulator and gear all packed. Fingers crossed! thanks to all, Rob
