Sep 26 | MERU EXPEDITION 2011 - DISPATCH 2

Meru_d02_image01 After spending a two days building basecamp and sorting through mountains of  gear, we carried loads up to our ABC below our route on Meru. The clouds and mist parted along the 6 hour trek up to our ABC and we scanned familiar reference points on the route, the filter pitches of steep snow and ice, the alpine ridge, the traverse pitches with the tricky hauling, the overhanging headwall, the House of Cards pitch and others. The route and all its challenges were coming back to us. It was exciting to see the icy blade of granite again after 3 years and our anticipation began to build for what would be in store for us in the days ahead.

Meru_d02_image02 We took two rest days at basecamp and are headed up to ABC in the morning. If the weather holds, we should be on the route in a couple of days.

The route and all its challenges were coming back to us.

Throwing a good old temper tantrum in public is a little girl's prerogative — and clearly Suri Cruise is no exception.

mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.

I have to say that I like this site. I thought I would drop a comment and say what a great job you’ve done. I wish more people would put so much time into their website. Keep the posts coming.

I very much like to thank you share this message !
