Mick V, Geoff & Mick P left Camp 1 at 5am for a load carry to Camp 2 at 6,450m on the Gasherbrum La. Other teams waited for the Aussies to break trail, then were in quick pursuit. Breaking trail was hard work with trio arriving at Camp 2 at 12 o clock, a long 7 hour haul. They setup one tent, dropped a load and returned to Camp 1 in 2 hours.

Meanwhile, the 6 at Interim Camp moved up and occupied Camp 1.
There was some excitement on leaving Interim Camp when a huge powder snow avalanche broke off Gasherbrum 1 and had some powder snow settling on the tent. In spite of this there was no danger to the climbers. After returning from the Gasherbrum la, Mick V, Chris and Mick P descended all the way to Basecamp.
