Expedition Leader Eric Simonson called in a few minutes ago (roughly 6am Nepal time) to relay that the group was in Pangboche (3930m) and will make the move to Pheriche (4240m) today. A scheduled rest day tomorrow will give the team the opportunity to take a small hike and check out the Himalayan Rescue Association‘s clinic in Pheriche..
Everybody is doing just fine… weather has been cold and clear in the mornings with some light snow in the afternoons.
