Camp 10, Bengt reporting: The day has had it’s ups and downs. First of all were we met with loose snow reaching over our knees. Then we got whiteout for the entire day. But the temperature has fallen and we now have lovely cold weather. That makes, among other things, life inside the tent much better.
We did some 8 kilometres, and are now in position under the pass we must get over. We got a glimpse of it as we camped. There is no doubt that we need both a clear view and much better weather to challenge it.
The forecasts is not good. The best estimate in Sunday, so now we are confined to the comfort of the tent. It seems only Thorleif is not that enthused…
We have just gone over food, route, kilometres, fuel etc etc and found we have 10 days full rations left. And we believe we can scale the pass and get off the glacier in 5 good days, so so far everything is no sweat and just three happy campers.

The blue is not a clear sky
