737 Leg 2 Mount Vinson - Day 24
Hi Guys! Weather good, I flew in to Mount Vinson base camp today. I’ve been getting restless waiting, more patience required! Vinson base camp is tiny, only a handful of teams on the mountain. The forecast is good for the next four days. I’m climbing tomorrow with a strong team of four, two Dutch, one Aussie and our lead is an American guy called Joey. It’s -5 degrees Celsius at Vinson base camp and a minimum of -25 on the summit. I’m feeling a little lethargic and apprehensive after waiting for 8 days but at the same time can’t wait to get going. The altitude of Vinson base camp is 2100m, low camp 2750m, high camp 3700m, summit 4892m. Tomorrow we are climbing to low camp. Leg 2 then, let’s crack on! Speak to you all soon, thanks again for all your messages of support.
