...yet more training at Base Camp

More training at base camp. Yesterday, we reviewed ice climbing (with
an ascender), repelling down ice cliffs, more ladder crossings and arm
wrap descending, among other skills. Today, vertical ladder ascending
and descending with crampons and ascender....should be fun.

The plan is to leave Saturday for Camp One through the Khumbu ice fall
and all the ladder crossings.

More later.
