Xtreme Alps leave the Margherita Hut Today Team B descended from the Margherita hut. It was a relatively leisurely start as there was no blood taking or Nitric Oxide analysis to be done before breakfast; only the dreaded diary!
Yesterday was too good to be true...! After yesterday?s extremely successful and very efficient day of testing we had high hopes for today?s CPEX research.
Team A and B meet at the Gnefetti Hut Team A had a very warm welcome from Team B when we descended through gale force winds and 50cm of snow to the Gnefetti Hut yesterday. Team B had been at the hut for 3 days to acclimatise and were all in very good spirits.
Last day for Team A at the Margherita Hut It is the last day for Team A at the Margherita Hut before we descend to the Gnefetti Hut tomorrow to meet up with Team B who are acclimatising there at the moment.
The snow continues, as does the research... The snow has continued to fall at the Margherita Hut and today saw Team A complete the oxygen extraction and physiology studies.
Happy 4th Birthday Hannah Mark Edsell (daddy) and the Xtreme Alps team would like to wish Hannah Sky Edsell a wonderful 4th birthday from the Marghertia Hut. Daddy Loves you and misses you and your sister Olivia very much. xx
