Hello GreatOutdoors.com, this is Dave at Everest Base Camp. Today was a pretty significant day in our expedition. Lots of folks moving around but one of the most important movings around was four of our Sherpa team made it to the South Col today to establish our Camp IV, or sited. They carried up oxygen cylinders so we've got a place up there at 26000 feet and that's pretty important. There were Sherpas from another team who made it up their yesterday but we were proud of our guys getting up today. A number of our team came down from Advance Base Camp today. Walter and Karl and Marcus and Jim and Jack all came down to base camp. Fiona and Paul and Dennis went up to Camp III, they are midway up the Lhotse Face tonight sounds like everything is going alright up there Me, I'm going up in the morning, I've been down resting for three or four days, just fine resting here. We've got friends resting in Kathmandu right now taking their break before their summit bids. All the way down there, we heard they took our dog with them so we're hoping the dog is doing well down there. But I'm going up in the morning, and aiming for Camp III in a couple of days myself. Bye for now.
