Sir Ranulph heads for Camp 2
April 25th, 2008 at 2:19 pm |
At six am this morning Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Team Marie Curie left Base Camp for a three night trip to Camp 2. In the dark of the early morning head-torches could be seen dotted up the Khumbu Icefall.
The team will climb for five to six hours through the icefall until they reach Camp 1 where they will stay for one night.
Moving progressively higher up the mountain is key to the gradual acclimatisation process.
Tomorrow the team will spend two nights at Camp 2 at around 6,400 metres before heading back down to Base Camp on Sunday.
