GreatOutdoors, this is Dave, another day and another hike. Still down here at Base Camp, but we're getting up at 4 in the morning, which is about seven hours from now, and Larry and I are going to move up through Camp I, go all the way up through the Icefall and sleep at Camp I. Our first night, we're a little behind the rest of the team, but the timing seems about right for us to make our push now. So I'm pretty optimistic for that. Weather pattern is staying the same here, sunny and calm in morning in the first few hours and clouding up in the afternoon and snowing and it was snowing when I went to bed a little while ago, still snowing, but I don't think it's going to pile up too much. Most of our team is down right now at base camp resting after a successful run up the mountain. We've got two groups that are up the hill right now, our Singaporean pair is up at Camp I and TA from Newfoundland is up at Camp II, but most folks are down. Sherpas carried today and Sherpas will carry again tomorrow, up to Camp II. Hope to be calling you from a little higher up the mountain tomorrow. Bye for now.
