"An alpine style ascent of Tahu Ratum (6651m) is a particularly noteworthy and challenging objective, which will help raise the profile of British mountaineering." - Sir Chris Bonington - Expedition Patron.

Today has been mainly about packing...

How many freeze dried meals... serious concentration required! Photo: Ian Carter.

Holly, Hamish, Luke and I have spent the day in my barn. We occupied our time by packing, packing and yet more packing...

We're all fairly knackered and are about to go sleep.

Here are a few photos of us packing.

A big thanks to everyone to who has supported our trip - we really, really, really appreciate it.

Hamish on the phone to his Mum - He's forgotten the spare picks for his ice axes but his missing merino boxers were by far the most pressing issue. Photo: Ripley.

Hamish and Holly pretty happy with yummy Mule Bars! Photo: Hunt.

This will be our last blog post before the fun really starts, but I might squeeze another in tomorrow if you're lucky/some thing unexpected happens!
