Allie has successfully reached Camp 3 (6,850m) on Kanchenjunga. Her journey thus far has been anything but easy. After falling ill with gastroenteritis and a sinus infection at Base Camp, Allie showed remarkable resilience by continuing her ascent.
Despite a physically draining start, she powered through the first rotation and reached Camp 2 (6,228m) — a tough climb in itself while recovering. From there, she made the challenging ascent to Camp 3, navigating steep terrain and deep crevasses, all under clear skies and calm weather.
“Climbing while sick is brutal,” Allie shared. “But the higher I went, the better I felt. We were literally above the clouds.”
Currently, Allie is resting at Camp 3, assessing conditions for the next push. Weather permitting, she and her climbing partner will continue to higher altitudes to position themselves for a summit attempt.
Thank you to everyone sending messages of support and positive energy – it means the world to the team on the mountain.
