Near the ending

We think they are close to the ending, perhaps a few hours, maybe one day, could distance us from having good new from of our climbers.

They have ascended route to CV, thay have overcomed again the fixed ropes. They will face the West Buttress, the ridge which gives its name to the path. This ridge is very dangerous although there are anchorages and fixed ropes along all the route that secure the progression. The biggest difficulty is the strong wind, so the ascent over the ridge is a delicate moment.

Day is not too favourable, but to attempt to reach the summit they must go gout now, without delay. It is likely to be steady on tuesday or Wednesday, according weather forecast.

Adrian has a double fight, the Denali challenge and his backache. He wants to fight to the limit. The Raules are tired but better than Adrián. The load distribution has been proportional to the current strength of each one. This helps them to arrive to the highest point.

They are fighting tooth and nail, their voices seems to be getting fainter and fainter, but they trasmit us calm. Communications are not good, talks are slow, the reflections are with long silences.

We expect moments of uncertainty, diffused moments. They know we are following from here all of their movements, we are encouraging them and it is a great support for them.

We hope commications get better, but now it is necessary to ration the satellite battery, communicate one instant and make the most of it, beasides, the orography os this mountain creates shadows that make the transmission difficult, therefore, we will continue informing you as soon as we have news.

Thank you for your support.
