Stu has been able to provide a brief update of progress via SatPhone:
The lads are finally on the wall. We are yet to clarify the exact line they are taking but hope to get this information soon.
The skidoo ride to the base of the wall took 1 day. The lads have done quite a bit of climbing over the last two days, fixing ropes, etc., and have spent two nights on the wall in the portaledge.
The weather has just turned, it started snowing all of a sudden – that’s Twid’s fault for saying ‘it hardly ever snows’. They’ve come back down to the base of the wall, leaving the ropes fixed ready for the next opportunity to climb.
Stu’s last words were indistinct, but was heard to say something about polar bears…….
