Hello Everyone,

We are now all safely to Camp 4 at 24,400ft! The weather was again excellent today and looks like it will again be good for our summit. After we summit we will descend to Camp 2 for our last night on the mountain before Basecamp.

I will report in again tomorrow after our summit and when we arrive to Camp 2 for the night. We are really grateful for these days of great weather!

Thanks for following along,

Hello Everyone,

Today we had perfect weather and conditions for our move to Camp 2.  We are settled into camp enjoying the views and soon getting ready for dinner.  Tomorrow we will move a short distance to Camp 3, just a couple hours and will spend the night at 22,300ft.  The team is doing well and the weather is perfect!

Thanks for following along,

Hello Everyone,

We had a nice easy 4 hour hike today to Camp 1 with perfect weather!  The forecast looks incredible the next 5 or 6 days and we are looking forward to heading up to the summit during this good stretch of weather.  The team is doing great!  Tomorrow we head to Camp 2.

Hello Everyone,

After returning to Basecamp after our acclimatization rotation we have been resting for a couple days.  Today we are going through the oxygen system and getting gear organized to head back up the mountain.  The team is doing well and healthy.  On our acclimatization rotation we ended up cutting it short by one night because of a lot of snow.  We spent one night at Camp 2 though before returning to Basecamp.  Tomorrow we are planning to head up to Camp 1, then Camp 2, Camp 3, and finally Camp 4 before heading out for the summit.  The current plan (which could change) is to summit on the 25th and then descend back to Basecamp on the 26th.  The weather forecast is looking good and it is finally clearing up here at Basecamp.
