Update from Chris:
Everyone has now been ill at some point ranging from dizzy spells to sickness and/or headaches. Torrential rain yesterday but cleared up today, scenery and views unbelieveable, when the mist lifts!
David Ramsay having a bad day today, he swears he heard a dog barking, we suspect hallucinations as we are at 4600 metres!
We are camping overnight at baranco wall, arrived here with mist and when mist lifted we are now faced with 350m sheer wall which is tomorrow's climb! After baranco wall tomorrow we rest for a couple of hours before the summit attempt at midnight.

Hi Stephen,
ReplyDeleteToday went from excitment at how well you were doing to realisation that you had hit the toughest part yet when your second message came in within seconds. Then I realised the one saying how well it was going was yesterday and in fact today was hell, they clearly just arrived together when you got a signal!!!
I know it is tough and judging by Chris's update you have all felt it. Dig in deep. We are all willing you on. Your Dad is here tonight and sends his wishes too.
We are all really proud of you. Take care.
Nic, Dad, Logan and Jackson
