Day 6 - Rest day at basecamp

Day 6/16 - Rest day at base camp

Last night it was snowing at basecamp and very pretty, Today we had our 2nd rest day and I did a small hike around and the mandatory Dr check which is part of the permit.

The good news: all my vitals are good , HR at 70, blood pressure good , and OX% dropped to 80% but normal at this altitude. My permit is signed off and I am allowed to climb to the summit !🙃

The not so good news is that the winds of Illapa are very strong , today at 115 km/h, looking at the current forecast this coming week is rough. The next forecast for winds below 50 km/h are on the day I fly back😕

We pray for a miracle and try to focus on the here and now.

Mantra of the day: Surrender to what you can't controlRead more
