Hi all, it’s been a difficult day here. Bianca is really exhausted, but also still doesn’t want to give up on her dream just yet. There are basically two options for her;
- Try again tonight
The weather might be similar but might be a bit better. Arguments are that she’s already so close at Camp 4 now, but then again, she’s tired. - Come down to Camp 2 today and then try for a possible summit window on the 27th
This would mean only 1 day rest at camp 2 and a lot of climbing to get that. But camp 4 is too high to stay much longer.
Having spoken to her earlier, she doesn’t want to do option 2 as it’s too much extra climbing. So she’s trying to sleep, rehydrate, eat, and most importantly, muster her energy for another try tonight.
This time, they’ll leave a lot later to hopefully avoid the stronger winds and get some daylight (and warmth) when dawn comes – probably around 10pm.
Of course it’s possible this might change, but this is the plan at the moment.
Keep everything crossed!
