Island Peak, Nepal

Well it wasn't to be. We reached Crampon Point in good style at 5800m but decided that with 115km/h winds forecast and crevasses to bridge and a new fixed line to install it was better to play safe. Good day out. We will post a full trip gallery soon.

Island Peak Base Camp, Nepal

Island Peak BC 5050m. All set for attempt for the first summit of 2016 but mindful of strong winds and no fixed lines in place as well as large crevasses at this time of season.

Chukhung, Nepal

Arrived Chukhung at 4700m. We've decided to give Island Peak a go, at least to see how far we get. More in a few days.  #islandpeak

Dingboche, Nepal

Arrived into Dingboche at 4410m. Unfortunately the forecasts show 125km winds on Island Peak on our summit day. Due to our tight schedule we are adjusting our goals to stay safe.

Pangboche, Nepal

Safely in Pangboche at 3940m. The weather forecasts are showing storm force winds over our climbing period so we may well need to change our plans. #islandpeak

Namche Bazaar, Nepal

Arrived into Namche Bazaar today 3450m. The weather is stable but cold. Temperatures are around -15°c at this altitude. Tomorrow Pangboche. #islandpeak 

Monjo, Nepal

We arrived into Kathmandu yesterday and today flew into Lukla. Today's trek took us to Monjo at 2835m. Tomorrow we head to Namche. #islandpeak
