Expedition Leader Jonathan Schrock checked in to let us know the Team is now resting at EBC and will wait for the weather to give us the green light for heading up on our summit rotation. While the team rests, they will go over the oxygen system again and make sure they have it dialed. Kaji made his famous Momo Dinner for everyone today. A Momo is a chopped meat and vegetables wrapped in dough and then steamed, similar to a pot sticker. They are delicious! The team is now settling in to watch Terminator 3 on the projector.

Currently the Jet Stream is to the South of Mount Everest. Over the next week, it is showing signs of moving over the summit and then to the North. Once the Jet Stream moves away from the summit, we will put ourselves in position to head to the summit!
