The HAEX tents in camp one are situated on a wide bench between crevasses and the team rested for a full day there to make the most of this rotation up the hill. Their spirits are strong as they find ways to occupy the hours in the tents including ‘down-feather volley ball.’ TA Loeffler provides an apt description of the team priorities while in camp 1: “We sleep, we eat, we drink, we pee…” If the weather holds, they will move up the Western Cwm to Camp 2 at 21,000 feet tomorrow.
