Final
Report - sent by Andrew Horton
4
members of the team and 2 guides made it up to camp 2 for the second
big carry, chris horobin and damian peralta plus clients simon giles,
karen farley, ryan farley and andrew horton. we had to skip the
following rest day and shoot for the summit that night due to weather
after minimal sleep, karen decided to stay at camp 2 and the rest
of us headed for the summit, chris horobin turned around after approx
2 hours and the rest of us summited at approx 2pm to clear views
if somewhat slightly cold. we made a radio call to karen at camp
2 from the summit took snaps and then quickly headed down due to
weather. It was a great team effort from all who went for the summit
and especially to karen who waited at camp two and nursed us and
fed watered us upon our weary return, so thanks to all, great trip.

the rest of the team on their push for the summit

strong wind.

January - Chris has just phoned from Base
Camp where the team are all well and enjoying a rest day before
