Dispatch 50: Dave Ready to Join Summit Attempts

GreatOutdoors, this is Dave and I'm at Base Camp, it's this is my last evening at base camp. It's about dinnertime here and yeah, I'm going up early in the morning. Everybody else from my team is already up on the hill at various camps, we've got people at the South Col trying for the summit starting this evening, so we're pretty excited for them, then the next wave behind them at Camp III, and the next wave behind them at Camp II. So I'll be bringing up the rear. But of course I intend to go all the way to Camp II and then to Camp IV so I start moving early tomorrow morning, so today has just been a day of getting ready, preparing, charging batteries and sorting gear and trying to stay organized. Weather was pretty good today nice and calm in the morning, sunny through the morning, but then it's snowing now, snowing kind of heavily right now, hope it doesn't snow too much that will make it pretty tough breaking trail through the icefall. So hoping the snow quit in an hour or so, doesn't sound like it's snowing up high on the mountain, so the storm is just down low for right now, forecast is pretty good. I'll keep you informed as I start climbing and let you know
