03 July - Bad Weather and Visitors

The rest of the team planned to follow to Interim Camp to spend a night but an overnight change in the weather with heavy snowfall put an end to that. A depressing day followed with more snowfalls however by late afternoon the team cheered up at Basecamp with an entourage of three female climbers (Katherine Carlyle and Mary Adams from Australia and Tia from Scotland) visiting Leslie.
By early evening the clouds cleared completely. So the 4th of July should see the team go up for a 2 day acclimatisation trip.
