The day in Base Camp started leisurely with thoughts of the Development Team on their summit day and our Main Team members at Camp One having endured a stormy night. The early radio call to Colin told a different story and Camp One had experienced a reasonable night protected in its snowy hollow.
For the climbing party the winds were low throughout the day and Colin and Aleck managed to make a significant advance towards the crest of Peak Three ridge by taking a traversing line to some hidden ground hoping to find a route, which would be the break through we were looking for. By the end of the day they radioed through with a positive outlook and things are now looking good for fresh team members to take over at the front.

Meanwhile Uisdean, Chris, Sam and Dave T were in support ferrying rope and climbing hardware forwards to keep the front pair flowing and efficient.
