CAMP III AT 7.400 METERS

At 14 hours Spanish time, six o'clock in the evening in Nepal, Carlos phoned. He is with Marta in camp III at 7.400 meters. They were exhausted, they had several problems and it took them a lot of time to get there and prepare everything. Weather is cold and with blizzard. They were now going to hydrate themselves and to rest a bit, if they can, as they finally have to share a small tent for three people. They plan to head up to the summit at two o'clock in the morning. We will keep you updated. We hope they get all our good wishes and encouragement.
