The World View from Camp I on Everest

GreatOutdoors, this is Dave Hahn up at Camp I on Mount Everest, at the foot of the Western Cwm, top of the Icefall. Had a good day up here today, Nicky and myself walked in the direction of Camp II this morning while things were still cool, just before sunrise, got about an hour up the valley, and then came back to camp, just to stretch our legs and acclimatize a little bit. Our hope would be to walk all the way to Camp II tomorrow and come back here to I. A number of our Sherpas from Base Camp are going to establish Camp II tomorrow, build the tents and inhabit it, so that's an option for us in the days following but we'll see how tomorrow goes first. Lots of tents here at Camp I, where I'm standing now I'm looking at at least 100 tents. Nice day up here, real nice day, nice and quiet, good to be up in the mountains, up high and sleeping in a tent on the snow. That's the way it should be. Bye for now. Dave out.
