Steve House and Marko Prezelj, Makalu 2011: Sweet & Sour

Steve House  /  May 18, 2011  /  1 Min Read  /  Climbing

Steve_House_Makalu_2009 Steve House called today and shared the latest news from Makalu. He and fellow Patagonia ambassador Marko Prezelj finished their acclimatization and spent some time on the west face where the weather didn't cooperate all that well. But the forecast is improving slightly so the duo are going to head back to ABC and give the west face another go tomorrow.
