Still waiting at base camp

We have had a weather shift and are currently stuck at base camp for a weather window that allows us to make an attempt to reach the summit. For the last eleven days we have been waiting at base camp – only walking over to K2 base camp once which is about an hour away, and going for short walks up or down the glacier some of the other days so that we don’t get rusty. There are strong winds high on the mountain at the moment, but they are supposed to die off quite soon according to our weather report, so that we hopefully will get a shot at the summit in a few days.
