Dispatch 21: Moving Up but with Phinjo in Mind

Hey GreatOutdoors.com this is Dave at Everest Base Camp. We're a day down the road now and things are a little better. Everybody stayed down at base camp yesterday, nobody went up through the icefall yesterday. Today we're back to it. Our Sherpa teams moved up, inhabited camp II, so were' going to have people there now through the trip, and they carried substantial loads to Camp II and then came back down through the ice fall, so the Sherpa team was back in full action. The German Austrian Swiss segment of our team went up to sleep at Camp I, and a whole bunch of climbing team members are going to go up to sleep up at Camp I tomorrow. And the weather is stabilizing a little bit, things are looking better. I walked down to Gorak Shep today, testing my leg out and I figure I'll give it a couple more days then I might be ready for the Icefall. We're trying to move on, moving ahead, keeping Phinjo in mind though. That's all from Everest Base Camp. Bye.
