Clean up and wrap up is done for Peter Adam’s team. Members had a nice final dinner and are on their way home. Congratulations, again, to all.
Josh McDowell just called in from Camp 2. Still windy but all is good. The team hunkered down and still looking to make a carry tomorrow to Camp 3. Camp 3 is high camp. We’re watching forecasts and starting to strategize about the schedule for a summit push. Josh, Cedric and Leandro are watching the weather and keeping tabs on how the team members are doing. Part science and part art. Throw in a little luck, too. The bottom line is they’re trying to get the team into position to take advantage of the weather when it’s favorable. So far, so good.
