Now in Old Tingri

4 hours drive and 2 acclimatization climbs.

Handling the altitude but have got a bit of food poisoning so I have experienced emergency no. 2s on the mountain many times. Imodium down and rice and flat coke for dinner so hopefully I’ll be back to full strength tomorrow.

The walks have taken us to 5,200m and opened up some amazing views of snow capped peaks and Cho Oyu. The team dynamics are wicked and the banter is flying around like you can’t imagine. I can only think that the dynamics and personality mix is going to increase motivation and spirirts for the push to the summit.



We are now in Old Tingri and will be here for 2 more nights. More acclimatization and then we move to the Chinese Base Camp. We have Felix’s 30th Birthday on Monday so plenty to look forward to.
