Mick V, Geoff, Chris and Mick Parker ventured into the icefall arriving at interim camp in 3 hours minus Mick Parker who returned to Basecamp.

The trio setup another tent and at 1 pm climbed to 5900m taking around 4 hours. Two tents were setup thereby establishing Camp 1. Meanwhile back at Basecamp the Project Himalaya Team lead by Jamie McGuiness arrived. Jamie is well known in the Army Alpine Association (AAA) and provided logistics for the AAA 2004 Cho Oyu Expedition.
