When we decided to break our group for more acclimatization that some of us needed we agreed to meet in the BC again on the 7th. Hence, on the April 7 I felt totally rejuvenated and took a jeep back to the BC. From there I left on the 8th at 5:45 am to meet with my mates again in the ABC. All those 20 km up went on really well and I was sure that the decision to go down to a lower altitude and work a little bit on the acclimatization was the right one.
Thus after 7.5 hrs I was sitting in the mess tent and drank tea. On the table I found a message that my friends went up and would try to build the first altitude camp C1. Our cook also needed more acclimatization thus he left the ABC two days after me and returned back right with me. So on April 8 all of us met as Jan and Jiri came back down. They deposited some equipment that we will need later when going up on the edge where one starts to climb up the icefall. They also marked the path from the deposit place to the start of the climb which was about an hour and a half.
