Today Michael enjoys his last day of rest at Base Camp before heading off for his second extended foray up the mountain.
Tomorrow morning Michael will eat breakfast and set out early before the heat of the day unsettles the ice fall. His goal is to spend 8 days on the mountain, reaching and sleepint at Camp 3, which is found on the Lhotse face at 7300m. Completing this part of the climb will mean he's ready to descend to Base Camp to rest for about a week before pushing to Camp 4 and a summit attempt. Things are heating up, but the climbing team still found time for a group photo.

7,300 will be the tester Mikey - good luck with it and be safe around the icefalls.

Wow - that is some serious altitude. Good luck Mikey and stay strong in every way.

Way to go Mikey!! 7300 will be awesome - bet you'd like some of my 2-alarm chili to keep you warm up there? We'll keep it for your return!! Left foot, right foot...

Good luck Mikey!! Wish we were there supporting you - but we are in spirit. All the best - EM
Hi Mike!!
How amazing - I didn't think I could be any more awe-struck, but reading the updates and seeing the photos continue to blow me away!! You are a superstar!!
I love Sue and Cathy's new 'arctic experience'tradition involving the freezer!! Liz, Jill and I are going to emulate the experience as we head to Tasmania next week - look out Tassie - here come the girls!!
Best wishes for a successful next foray up the mountain!!
