Ang Jangbu reports that the EOA fixing team reached the summit today, which is great news. Now the door is open for the various climbing teams to start heading up.
The IMG climbers had a smooth trip up the Icefall and yesterday everyone was ensconced at Camp 2. Today was a rest day for the team at Camp 2, and tomorrow morning the team will be moving up to Camp 3. This will be the beginning of the summit bid! We are following the weather reports closely, and it appears we still have a few more days of low winds.
