May 5 Summary

< MAIN BLOG

The team spent all day preparing our equipment, going through crevasse rescue gear, food handling procedures and the simple task of running around town getting last minute food, gear and miscellaneous items. They all met for the first time and confirmed my decisions, as everyone began working together from the first moments they met. Urzsula and Samantha arrived at 12:30 in the morning after a whirlwind journey from Ireland and Toronto, tired but excited.

Later in the morning, way too early, I went and picked up Mike and Andy at 4:30 am from the bus depot, and to their pleasure they were then able to sleep in a bed after 20 hours of sitting on the bus.

We were very grategful for the Beringa Centre and their hospitality, giving us plenty of space to lay out all of our gear and make final preparations. After ordering pizza in and spending 14 hours going through everyone's gear, we finally packed our vans at 10:30 pm and headed back to our Hostel.
