Location of Colera high camp
Stu Johnson reports that the team had a nice climb up to Camp Colera (19,587 ft), the high camp below the summit. This involved an ascending traverse from the East side of the mountain to near the confluence with the route coming up from Plaza de Mulas to the West (the team will traverse the mountain and descend this way). The weather today was cloudy and warm, with no wind and a few snow flakes. Everyone is doing well and the have put themselves in the right position, so hopefully they will get a shot at the summit tomorrow!
