Day Six - Gary Barlow and Ben Shepherd

Gary Barlow's Climb Diary Day six

"WAKE-up call was at 6am but all my sickness and worries had gone. Today was a big day and all we had to do was make it through the seven hours to High Camp – then we’d be nearly at the summit.

On the walk we split up more than before, all going at our own speed. Halfway along we all dialled in to CHRIS MOYLES’s show and heard messages from our families.

It was very emotional but just the kind of support needed to get us through the final night.

For the first time on the ascent we saw other climbers and had our pictures taken with them. It was weird and reminded us of who we are when we’re not on this mountain. They also gave us advice for the summit.

Arrived at camp at 3pm with DENISE VAN OUTEN and ALESHA DIXON. We’d had a good laugh on the way up. Early dinner tonight with a final briefing from our guide about what’s in store for us the following day. It’s 6pm and I’m off to bed. Our wake-up call is at midnight and we set off for the summit at 1am.

Back’s been great today, getting better by the day."
