Hey, GreatOutdoors, this is Dave, and tonight I'm calling you from Camp I for a change, we're pretty close to 20,000 feet, about 19,800, something like that. Larry and I left base camp this morning about 5:30. There had been another sprinkling of snow overnight but that didn't slow us down. Lots of Sherpas were going up today so we had a good trail, we came up at a leisurely six hours and both of us feeling good up here at Camp I. We've joined others . . . from our larger IMG team and a couple of our Sherpa team, Pemba Dorge and Jamling. Nice afternoon up here, snowed a little bit, little bit cloudy, but just in the evening we got to see the sights, see the Lhotse Face, all the way up the Western Cwm, we could see the South Col, the SW face of Everest, the summit of Everest the walls of Nuptse, pretty amazing. So we are pretty happy to be up here. So we are drinking down super . . . and looking forward to a calm night here at Camp I. I'll let you know tomorrow what's going on.
