We talked to Kaji this morning, who is holding down the fort at ABC.  Mike, Peter and their team are doing well and they left Camp 1 for Camp 2 this morning. Weather continues to be good. The Sherpas carried to Camp 2 yesterday and they got set up 5 tents. Phunuru, Ang Karma and Mingma Dorje stayed at Camp 1 last night with the members. Nima Karma, Mingma Tenzing and Chhewang dropped down to ABC yesterday afternoon and went back up this morning to go to Camp 2.  Ang Karma and Phunuru are climbing with members today to Camp 2 and the other Sherpas are going ahead to set up more tents. We are keeping a close eye on the weather. There is still some moisture in the vicinity, but it is supposed to keep moving to the north and east.
