Summit Attempt

SUnday 3 January: We leave Camp Cholera at 5.30am for the summit. I dont feel good.
It is very cold. The tent is frozen inside form the breathing humidity. A pain to get dressed. 3 of us trun around at 6200m.

AT 6200m my hands are so cold, need to trick around with more gloves and can hardly hold walking sticks. I reach INdependencia at 6400m after 3 hrs. I am not good at all. dizzy, sick, headache. I try to move on , but unfortunately need to turn around at 6500m. Very sad and disappointing, but thats the mountain reality

3 of our group make it to summit, including the UNICEF banner. Hope to get pictures tomorrow.
