Mike Hamill reports that the team all made it back to Base Camp after their trip up to Camp 2. Now they have a couple well-earned rest days to look forward to. Timing is good, because we may have a bit of bad weather coming.

The plan for the second acclimatization is for the team to head back up to Camp 1 on Sunday, and then on to Camp 2, and then eventually up to Camp 3 (weather permitting). We’ll just have to see how it goes—staying flexible is always a big part of 8000m peak climbing.
