I spoke with Mark this morning! The climbers arrived at 11:30 PM at a village in Tibet, its at about 14,000 ft. so they will remain there for the next two nights in order to acclimate before moving up to base camp.
Their accommodations are in mud huts, the village is very poor, one way the farmers make an in come is by hanging up goat carcases so that the village people can cut meat off to purchase. Mark says that the smell in the air is of rotting flesh UGH!
They are still three to a room, only these rooms are a lot smaller and not as plush as the last place. Looking forward to the stories from this location! Until then, sleep well climbers...
