IMG leader Mike Hamill, along with Vanessa, Al, Danuru and Karma Rita, left for Camp 1 this morning. Their plan is to go to Camp 2 tomorrow and try for the summit on the 12th.  We are watching the jet stream closely; right now it is holding just to the north of the Himalayas.  If all goes according to plan, we have the yaks ordered for the 13th, which should get the team back to Kathmandu on the 15th.

Forecast for Friday 10-14 showing the jet stream (in meters/second) moving back over the Nepal Himalaya.
