Mera High Camp...
29 Oct, 08 - 12:57
Snuggled in my Zulu 9 sleeping bag I am...after a stellar day! B^)
I'm at Mera High Camp (5800m/19000ft), contemplating sleep and a 1am wake up call. It's 6pm right now.
View of Mera Central (6476m/21241ft) from Mera High Camp
During the wee hours of Thursday, we are going to climb to Mera's summit and (hopefully) enjoy a spectacular sunrise!
Phill at Mera High Camp with Makalu (8400m/27500ft) in the distant (centre) background
I'll upload another dispatch when we return from the summit...including images.
I've got the BGAN in my tent right now and I'm transmitting through the tent wall. All I'm doing is reaching my arm out of my warm slumber sack to turn it on and off. Big Thanx goes to Eric at the SatellitePhoneStore.com for hooking me up with this apparatus! It rules! =^)
Afternoon internet connections with the BGAN from Mera High Camp (5800m/19000ft)
I hope you are virtually enjoying climbing in the Himalayas with us via the dispatches at www.secretspoteverest.com and/or my blog!?
If you have not subscribed...you should...right now. I invite you. =^)
Until Soon
Phill =^)

I was wondering if this comment can be used as a 2 way comm between you guys and us watching your journey as there is no email address to contact you on
Safe journey. Andrew (Caroline's Cousin, Sydney AUS)
