Like many others, newly obsessed
Can someone please explain the rotations to me? My understanding is that they occur for the climbers to acclimatize. How many rotations are there?
Also, why do many climbers spend 4 weeks (or more?) at base camp.
So many questions! Yes, Google is a thing, I know. I’m going to watch some documentaries today as it’s my last day of PTO before going back to work!
ETA: Why is the summit window so short?
