The following email from Jangbu over on Kili greeted us this morning:
“We pulled into Barafu camp by 11:30 this morning. Everyone is doing really well. Like every day, we got rained on a bit, but not too bad. Had a great lunch at 12:45 pm and doing early dinner at 5:00 pm. Up at 11pm tonight for a midnight departure for summit.  Wish us luck. Hopefully, I will call you from the summit tomorrow morning.  Here is a photo I took at the switchback below Barafu.” – Ang Jangbu

If we hear from Jangbu and team later today, we’ll get a dispatch up with the news. They’ll be walking through new snow up high but nice to know that the precip is slowly backing off. With everyone healthy, they have a good shot.
