Hola desde EBC. Ayer regresamos de nuestra primera rotacion por la cascada de hielo, dormimos dos noches en el campamento 1 (6000 mts) y ascendimos al campamento 2 (+/- 6400 mts) cerca de la pared de Lhotse, la cual tendremos que ascender en nuestra segunda y tercera rotacion. Pasamos dos largas noches en el camp 2 antes de bajar al campamento base (EBC). Estaremos descansando unos dias antes de hacer nuestra segunda rotacion de 5 noches que nos llevara al campamento 3 en la cara de Lhotse a unos 7300 mts de elevacion. Dormiremos una noche en el campamento 3 sin oxigeno para ir finalizando el proceso de aclimatizacion. Posterior a esta rotacion, bajaremos a 4200 mts por unos dias para descansar, comer, respirar bastante oxigeno y prepararnos para la tercera y ultima rotacion en la montana, el dia que intentaremos llegar a la cumbre. La fecha probable para nuestro intento a la cumbre es del 22 al 24 de mayo. Bueno, los dejo por ahora ya que esta bajando el sol, comenzando a nevar y haciendo un poco de frio. Saludos a todos.

Hi from EBC. Yesterday we returned to base camp after our first rotacion through the ice fall, slepped 2 nights at camp 1, moved to camp 2 where we also spent 2 long nights. Camp 2 on Everest is near the Lhotse face which we must climb in order to reach camp 3 at around 7300 mts. On our second rotation, we will sleep (eyes wide open) at camp 3 without supplemental oxygen in order to start concluding our acclamatization process. Following the second rotation, we will descend to 4200 mts for a few days in order to rest, eat and breath plenty of oxygen prior to our third and last rotation into the mountain. Our last rotation includes moving to camp 4 and attempting the summit which according to our current schedule, should make our summit attempt between the 22nd and 24th of May. Well, we still have plenty of time and work before our summit bid and will keep you all posted as our plans advance. The sun is coming down, snow is falling and yes, it is starting to get a bit cold. My regards to all and again, thanks for your emails.
Hello friends, family, coworkers, and those I have yet to meet. I’ve created this blog to keep you all up to date on my expedition to the summit Mt. Everest. I have taken a 2 month leave from work to participate in a 60 day expedition which will be guided by Alpine Ascents International. If successful, I hope to take the Panamanian flag to our world’s highest peak and complete a personal goal of several years. Through this blog, I hope to share with you my experience in this magical country rooted in Buddhist culture and tradition. Please feel free to post your comments or email me at morales@cryogasonline.com or mmorales71@gmail.com. Best wishes to all, specially my son and daughter at home.
