#10: approaching the exit
Published at 05:48

The mountains continue to sparkle around us. Kirby Cone is ridiculously perfect, it might be a remnant volcanic plug so conical is its profile from every angle. Oh to stand on its summit. I think we?d struggle to fit our team on its tiny pinnacle.
Ming flew the drone today and I?m sure the 5 minutes of footage alone justifies its 2.3kg in weight.
Long climbs and soft snow left us pretty ragged by days end but the blue and windless sky, and a 16.2km trail down to Camp 6 give us little to complain about.
Up ahead we see the crux of our ascent up the Kansas. A steep traverse threads a needle between two ice falls and takes us onto the plateau where we make a left turn towards the South Pole. Tomorrow we will perch ourselves at the foot of the climb to give us a full day to ascend.
Jade is doing extraordinarily well. She carries all of her own food, personal stuff, her glacier travel gear and a tin of fuel and keeps a steady pace. Dealing with the cold up above will be the big test but so far she?s a star.
Moroccan Lamb again, my fave.
