The Team is prepared and ready to make their summit push on Cho Oyu.  During the rest days at ABC, the Team did the oxygen clinic and then practiced and practiced and practiced!  With the rest days came some snow and Mike decided to hang tight for an additional day at ABC.

Now the weather has cleared up and the Team is feeling strong.  The last little piece to the puzzle is the fixing team.  With no movement high on the mountain, Mike wants to make sure the fixing team has enough time to do the job right.  With good weather and word from up high that the route is fixed, our climbers will head up hill in in the morning!

Have a great climb everyone!
