Bruce, David and Don have spent a few days resting in BC while Guy and Billy are up getting acclimatisation on the hill. Depending on the weather forecast teams may swap places during Monday the 29th.

The next week’s weather is not looking that promising and if the forecast is right there will be a dump of about a meter in the next 5 days. We hope and pray this is not a hit of early monsoon effect.

Other than that all of us are in good health and Murph, our team Gorilla had us do a minute of silence for MJ.

On a more serious level we where saddened to learn that Italian skier Michele Fait died on K2. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. Several members in our team knew Michele Fait from previous K2 expeditions so the news was a hard blow.

Last but not least we just like to clarify that contrary to some media reports we have NOT fixed any ropes on the way from BC to camp one. We did however open their trail to C1 but that is not the same thing...
