Trucks, trekking, chess and chilling

This morning all our gear was packed, weighed and then transported by truck to Valley Camp where we are sleeping tonight. Valley or Interim Camp is the half way point to Cho Oyu's Base Camp proper, also referred to as Advanced Base Camp (ABC). In the past we have loaded our gear on yaks at CBC but in going with the flow and making life easier, the yaks only have one days hard yaker (terrible pun I know) and that is tomorrow from Valley Camp to ABC. I trust this all makes perfect sense! Everyone felt good during the four hour trek which has us sleeping at 5300m.

This afternoon sees Martin's reign as king of the chess board challenged by Lucas. Andrew continues to entertain the local Tibetan kids with Action Man. Snow showers make napping an enticing pass time.

Tomorrow we will trek to ABC (5600m), our base for climbing Cho Oyu and home for the next 4 weeks.

Hi to folks back home and with any luck email will soon be an option once we are settled at ABC.
