@rob.lea and I have spent most of past six weeks above 17,000’ (5,181m). The first few weeks of the altitude were simulated in our @hypoxico altitude training tent. We’ve also spent one third of our last year sleeping in the tent, first training for Cho Oyu, and then for Everest/Chomolungma. Needless to say, we are feeling really good at 17,000’ and are getting ready to move up when a good summit weather window presents itself! Also, I wanted to remind you that you don’t need to be a woman to advocate for gender equality. We need all hands on deck! We would love if it you’d support our climb and women’s leadership by using the hashtag #climbforequalityPhoto: @louisarevalo
