Dispatch 29: Dave at Advance Base Reports First Dog Ascent to Camp II

Hey GreatOutdoors.com, this is Dave, I'm up at Camp II. All is well up here, I came up this morning, it's a little breezy up top of the big mountains but not bad at all between about 7 and 9 this morning on the walk up. Again, walking with the Sherpa army, about 50-60 guys from various teams humping big loads up the Cwm. Camp II is a little more civilized, nice to be up here, of course this is our advanced base camp, there's cooks up here, they eat pretty well up here. Big climbing feat of the day I think was a dog! A dog climbed all the way up through the ice fall, this time walking over the ladders, walking on the rungs. Justin came up today and he has a couple pictures of the dog which I had a little trouble believing but then right outside there was the dog standing there at camp II. So pretty amazing. We'll see if he goes for the summit, whether he uses oxygen or not. All for now. Talk to you tomorrow.
