Extreme Crochet

High mountains are not just about climbing. A lot of time is spent acclimatising by resting in camp. This can involve anything from sunbathing, bat and ball,sheltering in tents from unpredictable weather, absurd conversations and high altitude crochet! Carole has now made 15 hats and 12 pairs of booties and is working on a full body suit! Its not all fun and games though. 2 of the team, Kath and Carole, have been a bit poorly so this has enabled the rest of us to take advantage of even more base camp frivolity. Tomorrow the 3 day slog towards Camp 3 begins. Our fear is that when we get back on our skis and boards that the perfect powder may have turned to ice. Nice!
