To Camp 2 (Jonathan Farnsworth)
And then, there was one. Mike Hamill called in this morning from C2. The team did well and they’ll now be sleeping at this new, higher altitude. Tomorrow will be a carry up to C3, at over 19,000 ft. If all continues to go well, that puts the team in position to take a shot at the top on Sunday or Monday morning. Forecasts call for favorable weather on both those days. For now, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope all continues to go well.
