Ready for the Summit

Hi my friends,
Well we're here at Barafu camp resting at 15300 ft. It's glorious and sunny with clouds drifting through us every now and then. Our group of 13 is poised and ready to go - knapsacks are packed, snacks are stuffed into pockets for easy access, our 2litres of water have been treated and spirits are high. No real altitude sickness to speak of. Our Olympic moment is upon us. We'll set out at midnight prepared for -10 to -15 degrees (just like skiing in Ontario we keep telling ourselves). We love you all. You're closer to us than ever before.

Alison
