737 Leg 7 Everest - Day 156

Yesterday was another needed rest day at base camp . Steve had a rest day at camp 2 after spending the night at camp 3. My shower yesterday was the first since leaving Kathmandu! Ha! One of the main Jagged Globe team, Adam Potter, has joined mine and Steve's summit bid. He's a top guy, strong climber and earlier this year in January he fell 1000ft off a Scottish Munro and obviously survived! He got sick as the group moved from camp 2 to camp 3, but he's feeling good now.

I’ve been looking at the weather forecasts, and it looks like the 21st will be our best chance of summiting. 20-25 knot winds, -38c and no snowfall. The forecasts are only accurate for 4-5 days so we still have to wait and see. Patience is such a massive part of this climb, it's mentally tough, especially seeing people summiting, but I have the upmost confidence in my strategy. It was very cold in base camp yesterday, so I spent most of the day in my Rab sleeping bag, which I love! It's like getting back into the womb!! Adam and I have been sharing dog stories, I miss Ben my dog so much! Yesterday we also watched Quantum of Solace! With popcorn! On Everest Base Camp! My favourite bonds in order; Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton! I love bond! Speak soon guys.
