Sixth day: Closer and closer to the objective

They are closer and closer to the great objective. Usually the great successes are achieved after reaching small objectives. The Raules and Adrián have managed to advance a lot on this mountain. Yesterday, they arrived in CIV Medical Camp (4.328 m), they left some material there and they returned to CIII. They seized this carrying to acclimatize. It is impossible to ascend from the CIII with the mountain sleds, because the orography does not allow their dragging. All the material have to be carried at their backs, therefore they have to do two carryings. They have already done the first one, and today they will do the second one, so they will finish the acclimation. Once they are in CIV, they will rest and hope good weather which allows them to arrive in CV and then reach the summit.

When they called me, I was drinking beers with the Himalayan Carlos Pauner, a professional mountainer and great friend of us, we have shared with Carlos some expeditions to the largest mountains in the planet. I have put him through them and they have been speaking a few minutes. Pauner have wished them the best and he has encouraged them.
