Well done team (Max Bond)
Max reports from Camp 3 that the team had a good day, reaching the summit and then descending back to Camp 3. It was very cold for the ascent, but warmed up near the summit as they got less wind. All total, it was a 14 hour roundtrip, 9.5 up and 4.5 down.

Everyone is doing well, with the plan for another night at Camp 3 and then down to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp in the morning. Way to go!!
