\n\t\t\t\tMoonlight over Cho Oyu (Ang Jangbu)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThe Team left ABC this morning to spend their first night at Camp 1 on Cho Oyu.\u00c2\u00a0 Camp 1 is at an elevation just over 20,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (6,000m).\u00c2\u00a0 As I sit writing this blog and thinking about the first time you head out from ABC to Camp 1, I think about the stories of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the hill.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00c2\u00a0Here is a quick description of the trek to Camp 1 for all of you.<\/p>\n
Walking out of our camp and wandering through main Base Camp the team treks over the rubble strewn glacier.\u00c2\u00a0 It changes from year to year but what is\u00c2\u00a0always there are\u00c2\u00a0the ups and downs and route finding that come along with the first section.\u00c2\u00a0 As the Team begins the gentle grade uphill to the left, they will arrive at Lake Camp.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a rest stop for our climbers before \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the hill.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The first time up the hill is nothing short of hard work.\u00c2\u00a0 Slow and steady, step by step and find your groove.\u00c2\u00a0 This hill section to Camp 1 is challenging and rewarding.\u00c2\u00a0 Our Team will notice significant changes in their strength and acclimatization as the expedition goes on.\u00c2\u00a0 The hill gets a little \u00e2\u20ac\u0153easier.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0 Slow and steady to the top of the hill and then, all of a sudden, you are at Camp 1, protected on the opposite side of the ridge.<\/p>\n
The Team will sleep at Camp 1 tonight and get up early tomorrow morning to return to ABC.<\/p>\n
Nice job everyone!<\/p>\n
