Another overnight 15 cm dump of snow saw Basecamp covered in a light carpet. Mick Parker along with our only working HAP Pawanna plugged steps in the deep snow to Camp 1. Their aim is to do a carry of tents and gas to camp 3 in preparation for a summit bid around the 19th -20th July. James our doctor left Basecamp for Skardu as a result of not being able to shake of bronchitis. He will be sorely missed. The plan is for the team to depart on the 16th of July for a summit push although continuing bad weather is making the departure uncertain.
