Fast to the Summit

Fer and Pampa have enjoyed a few resting days before having a final acclimatizing rotation on camps 1, 2 and 3. Then (after that), 2 or 3 days in Base Camp and 3 or 4 days in some of the lower villages until better weather intervals appear, so as to start the last climb to the summit.
