Moved camp today and feel like I am acclimatising well (slight headache at 13,500 yday, feel good at 14,2 camp today). Everything went well except the last section where we all got fried. It is strange that lower down we were in full blown mountain storms and now we are getting burned by the sun – I have never felt so warm in just a base layer and cap on a mountain. 14 camp is an international village, full of tents and different nationalities (met our Irish friends who are having a good craic). Great views to the fixed lines, Rescue Gully, Messner Couloir, Upper West Rib, Hunter and Foraker
