Everest 2012: Camp II – Lohtse Face
Posted on April 26th, 2012 by sarah_hassell
The team will depart Camp II tomorrow at 6 am for EBC. Everyone will rest for about three days and then return to Camp II for two days and begin the steep climb up the Lhotse Face. Sherpas were fixing lines up the 3,000 foot wall today which is good news. Lines are essential for safe passage to Camp III (24,000) and to Camp IV via the South Col. Camp III can be a punishing camp due to the altitude and cold. With exception of some headaches and coughs everyone is well.
