Mission: 7 summits in 365 days
July 20, 2009

We woke up today to a beautiful sunrise drifting over the camp. All I had to do was roll over to watch the giant fireball creep above the horizon. Once we left camp it was another easy day to School Hut, the highest camp on our route. It is surprisingly chilly up here, and I barely brought any clothes either. Huge boulders are all around, like we’re in a giant nest of eggs. This morning, the sea of clouds still hides the plains below--we are an island, cut off from the visible world around us. At dinner we sit inside the mess tent, along with everyone from our staff that can fit themselves in. They all just sit quietly and watch us eat and laugh. Tomorrow we head up, so we got our clothes ready and hit the sack under a blanket of stars.
