CLIMBING TO CAMP 2 - At the time I took this, I had little energy and wondered if I was going to make it. Camp 2 is above the top of the snow slope. It was a long day for me but I did eventually get to Camp 2. The next day, after sleeping 9 hours with oxygen (best night's sleep ever), and using oxygen for the climb, I had no problem ascending to Camp 3.

Looking back down to the North Col tents as we head up to Camp 2

CAMP 2 - About 25,000 feet (7600 meters)
