In this video, Sir Ranulph Fiennes talks about the trek to Camp 1. Perhaps unexpectedly, it is not the cold that concerns him most, it is the extreme heat they will face on the Western Cwm.
The Western Cwm, often called the ‘Valley of Silence’, is a glacial valley at the foot of the Lhotse Face of Everest. When Team Marie Curie arrives here they will get their first sight of the upper slopes of Everest.
