Message from Cleo Weidlich from Camp 2 of Shishapangma "We had our Puja ceremony on Monday and on Tuesday early morning we began our climb to Camp I. The approach to Camp I was arduos and dangerous as we travel up and down moraines highly susceptible to rock slides. After reaching mid camp we had a short walk to the glacier that we must climb to reach Camp 1. We arrived at our camp under heavy snow fall but glad that the whole team was able to complete the first rotation. Matina, Ludwig and Colorado ace skier opted to shred the hill between Camp 1 and the glacier. Ravi and I have moved to Camp 2 today".
