C2 (Peter Bilodeau)
Carry got made to high camp (C3) today. Everyone currently back together at C2. Tomorrow’s the final move. They’ll try to get into C3 relatively early and establish camp. Best to have as much time as possible to prep for the summit; eat, drink and rest as much as is possible at that altitude. Forecast (remember, it is just a forecast) calls for winds to be at their lowest ebb on Sunday. Maybe a little precip but nothing which looks too significant. Plan is to attempt the summit on Sunday. They’re putting themselves into a good position so let’s hope all the variables remain as they currently are.
