Paul's at Camp 3

Paul and the team have arrived safely at Camp 3, where they're now resting, before getting up fairly early tomorrow morning, to make their way to Camp 4.

The tents are dug in and secured to the side of the mountain with ropes. This is an example of the conditions Paul will be sleeping in tonight.

The weather is still looking good for them and it's reported the route is in good shape. 

To give you a taster of what Paul's had to encounter over the last couple of days to reach Camp 3, take a look at the pics below. (Unfortunately the people in the pics aren't of Paul and his team, but they are of the terrain and exposure he is experiencing)

Lhotse Face

This picture is of climbers on the Lhotse face, taken exactly a year ago today - 22nd May 2010

The majority of the Climbers who summited over the weekend (including 6 from Paul's group who were in the first wave), have now descended safely through the Khumbar Ice fall and are resting at base camp. Approximately 316 summits took place through May 20th.

I'll have another update for you tomorrow hopefully.
