Guide Jacob and the team are moving to High Camp tomorrow, and they will go for the top on Friday. They are now at Chopper camp, or Camp II (18,000 ft). Everyone is fine and the weather forecast shows excellent days ahead. High Camp is at 6000m (19,685 ft). It is a rocky plateau, where some white boulders give some protection from the high winds. The place it's also called White Rocks or Colera Camp. ON summit day, the team will face a cold walk in the morning, before sunrise, with headlamps on and zippered parkas. But then the sun will comfort them and reveal an awesome landscape. I will be updating the information more often now, in the final stage of the climb. Regards from Mendoza
