Consultants Cho Oyu Expedition 2001
Tuesday
Sept 25 2001 - Restless Sleep at Camp II
The
AC Cho Oyu team have returned to base camp after
spending two nights at camps on the mountain. At Camp
II (approx 7000m) a comfortable night's sleep is
rarely possible and expedition leader Dean Staples
described their night there as restless at best.
Getting up to Camp I was easier this time around
though! Now they are all resting in BC for 3 days, and
plan to move onto the mountain again on Friday Sept
28th with a summit day attempt looking likely for
Monday Oct 1. The weather has been stable for the past
few days but high lenticular clouds are gracing the
top of Mount Cho Oyu so this is a sign that the
weather may be beginning to deteriorate over the next
few days. A close eye will be kept on this by Dean
& Mike. All in the group are reported as feeling
well and in good health, and Curt and Raymond are
happy that they have already set personal high
altitude records by reaching Camp II height. Now they
are looking forward to climbing into over 8000m on
summit day.
