Team looks towards camp 4

Team calls in from Camp 2

Heading up for summit rotation!

Hello Everyone, After a couple days of rest we are ready to head up on our summit push. We will leave this morning after a light lunch and head up to Camp 1 for the night. We will continue on to C2, C3, and C4 before waking up early for the summit. Looks like the 26th will be our summit day. Weather looks good for the next week with the possibility of the winds creeping up a little on the summit day but manageable, especially with how warm the temps will be. The team is healthy and ready to go! I’ll update as we go. Thanks for following along! Ben Jones

Back to Basecamp

Hello Everyone, We have arrived back in Basecamp for some well deserved rest after our acclimatization rotation up to camp 3. Our plan is to rest a couple days and prepare for our summit push. The team is feeling great! Our Sherpa have just taken supplies and oxygen to Camp 4 and are now on the way back to Basecamp! Couldn’t make it happen without their hard work! Thanks for following along! Ben Jones
