Days 7 - 9: Overnight to the 23rd finally supplies and the kitchen crew arrive in camp. Supplied with freshly arrived fruit we start carrying the gear for camp 2. The way to camp 1 is getting easier in lighter shoes and less snow. After a good rest and sleep in camp 1 we start ascending through the massive seracs and crevasses in that section. Initially, I am struggling. I am coughing and spitting blood. But with patience and a few rest stops I start feeling better and we work our way to 19,950ft where we set up our tents next to a few others. We ski down through the crevasse zone in snow changing between deep slush and frozen crust and are exhausted when we reach camp 1. After stashing the ski gear and another 3000ft descent we reach a bustling basecamp and are finally lavishly fed and supplied. The next day is a rest day while finally eating real meals.
