May 18 – Island Peak Team ready to move to High Camp
This is Shelley Freeman calling from Island Peak Base Camp on Wednesday May 18th and I am calling from inside my tent where is cozy warm but it is snowing outside, just a little bit.
We will try to summit on May 20th from high camp; hopefully we will be back to base camp that same day after the summit. But I would like to mention that tomorrow is Brad’s wedding anniversary and I know that he is thinking about his family right now so I would like to say happy anniversary to his wife Andrea and big hello to his son Charlie. So we are going to be settling down for the night to have a good night sleep and hopefully we will be well rested for tomorrow and for the days to come. |

We are now at approximately 5000 meters and tomorrow we will gain another 600 meters as we make our way to high camp on Island Peak. We decided to not take a rest day and to go right ahead to high camp because we are both feeling really good right now, so we thought it would be a good idea to do it.
