![Nick and Base Camp Buffalo (soon to be summit buffalo) in high Camp II](http://dispatches.nickrice.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/DSC_4887-Custom.jpg)
Today, we woke up at 4:00am, ate a quick breakfast, then Pilar, Carlos and Lina began climbing to Camp II. I decided to make the day a bit more relaxed so I left base camp at 6:00am. We arrived to Camp II with heavy packs in the early afternoon. Lina and I made water, relaxed, ate a quick dinner, then went to bed in the early evening so we would be rested for the heavy climb tomorrow to Camp III.
