Baruntse 2013

Here's a video blog.... filmed at Baruntse Base camp, 5450m! Makes a change from my usual bedroom. Worth a watch/RT. youtube.com/watch?v=nLfYlc…

Not quite Baruntse but the top of Amphu Labsa pass, 5800m, awesome views. Thanks for your support ! @textlocal http://t.co/poaPCcNX5L

#Baruntse summit is now directly behind us. It looks MEGA STEEP. #daunted

Baruntse camp 2 is at 6425m. Just 3 years since I climbed my first hill in the UK. Fingers, toes and everything crossed now.

This record attempt means so much to me. Baruntse looming very large over camp. Maybe this respite will give us the edge we need.

At Baruntse base camp. Stunning place, breathless and nosebleeding but ok. Conditions on summit really poor right now. Awaiting forecast.

Saw Baruntse today for the first time as we approach it. That's one big hill to get up! Starting to feel like I'm finally acclimatising.

Baruntse base camp on tues, to Polkari tomorrow. This is really good training, I have a great respect for these mountains. Resting up today.

At Kathmandu after a long 2 days. Shattered. Met my team- Paul, Phil and leader Francis. Off to Lukla on Tuesday. #climb4change #baruntse13

Safely at Mumbai. Really overwhelmed by people's support. But you do know I'm climbing Mt. Baruntse this year and Everest next year right?!

Here we go. Check out my blog. youtu.be/Vz2Rsp5FNi8 Thanks for all your support. #baruntse13 http://t.co/y3cKz5nt43

I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone who has supported me so far and with fundraising for Baruntse. Couldn't have done it without you.

Latest video blog! Pre-expedition thoughts and feelings. Last proper blog for a while. #baruntse13 #climb4change youtu.be/Vz2Rsp5FNi8

After Baruntse I'll be kickstarting my Everest fundraising for @CLIC_Sargent & @REACTproject. Only another £29035 to raise for great causes.
