Departed 3rd October 2009Island Peak

Mike Toms, Henry Latti, Jari Kettunen.

18th Oct  The satellite phone signal wasn’t great but we’ve just got the news the team made the summit of Mera Peak on Saturday. They’re now heading north up the Hunku Valley aiming to cross the Amphu Labsta in a couple of days on their way to Island Peak

14th Oct  Chris called today: the team are now in Khare, they have had some very challenging weather up to now and nobody so far has reached the top of Mera Peak. However the weather has improved dramatically over the last day or so and this should give the team a good chance at grabbing the summit. Everyone is feeling good and looking forward to their first Himalayan peak.

7th Oct  The team have now reached Pangkong, there has been some light rain, but other than that the team are doing fine.

6th Oct  The team arrived in Kathmandu on schedule and have now flown to Lukla and commenced their trek to Mera Peak base camp.

2nd Oct  The team will depart on the 3rd October
