The Summit Push is On!
The summit push is on! Garrett and the Ama Dablam team just left base camp moments ago heading for Camp 1. You can follow their progress on this real-time map: https://madisonmountaineering.com/maps/ama-dablam-2020/. Here’s Garrett’s message as they were leaving base camp this morning:
Well, it’s November 9th and we are off this morning on our Summit Rotation for Ama Dablam!
We just had breakfast, packed up, and walked around the puja – doing one last ceremony as we head off here up towards Camp 1. It’ll be a six hour, seven hour hike today to Camp 1. And then the plan is Camp 2 tomorrow night and then wake up around midnight and go for the summit!
So hopefully, we’ll be back down here in a few day’s time. All’s well here and we’re looking forward to gettin’ up on the mountain!
