I spoke to Mark this morning after his very long day making the trek back up to Camp 1. He said, "the weather was calmer this time, but the climb still took all he had to complete." They are staying at Camp 1 for the night, then when they wake they will trek half way up to Camp 2 and then they will turn around and go back to Advance Base Camp to let their bodies acclimate once again.

The temperatures up at Camp 1 will fall well below zero over night so bundle up climbers and sleep well, you'll need your strength for tomorrow!
