@ClubKMC @MONTANEuk @ExpeditionFoods @mef_org @thealpineclub @Team_BMC @FieldNotesBrand @Rohantime @AndyMilesExped @StevieG_wonders @AndyStratford68 @StuartHurworth This is the whole team a few days earlier.

We are heading out from the relative comfort of Basecamp to the Bel Uluu Valley (between the mountains you see on the right).

Our packs are full of everything we'll need to set up ABC (advanced base camp) and do acclimatisation runs.
@ClubKMC @MONTANEuk @ExpeditionFoods @mef_org @thealpineclub @Team_BMC @FieldNotesBrand @Rohantime @AndyMilesExped @StevieG_wonders @AndyStratford68 @StuartHurworth @Tinkadventures We had become used to conditions near basecamp at 3,172m.

We present as evidence this photo of Emily cheerfully crossing the Bel Uluu river.

The Soviet maps listed our objective Ak Chukur at 4,970m.

To acclimatise we would need to spend nights sleeping higher up the mountain.
