- Climbing on Ama Dablam (Nathan Berry)
We received news from the team on Ama Dablam overnight. The team enjoyed an incredible day of climbing to Camp 2 (19,356’). They were up early and reported no wind and clear skies. The team arrived at Camp 2 just after 9:30 am which enables them to take in the incredible views and rest the entire day! Tomorrow, the team will head to Camp 3 at about 21,000’.
Today’s climb to Camp 2 took the team through technical terrain and working through the Yellow Tower. This climb is difficult and working efficiently through the technical terrain from Camp 1 to Camp 2 is a great barometer for how the team is climbing. This team is climbing exceptionally well.
All is well on Ama Dablam!
