Message from Mark at the Spectre base camp
The team are still in their spectacular base camp; preparing for the next part of the adventure. Despite the intermittent charging problems with the Iridium Go internet device they have managed to send a couple of photos through from yesterday.

Good to hear from you Mark. Sounds like you are camping in an awesome spot ….well deserved after the difficult journey to get there. I love reading all the blogs and wish you all the very best for the climbing phase.
Shovel cheesecake might go down well in Wanaka!

Sounds like you have many talents Mark including cooking. What are those pad things on the pulk the gloves are sitting on – are they solar panels?
Is that really you Mark with the beard??
Have you tried another micro usb cable. Try putting a bit of weight on the connection using a phone or brick. Don’t use ice.
Read your account to John Grue still asleep in hospital after his bike accident in September. He opened his eyes and seemed to look at the photos. This is almost as massive as your achievement —- well they are different but both fantastic.
