GreatOutdoors this is Dave Hahn, Camp I. Nicky Messner and I along with Sanduk from Pangboche walked up to Camp II, all the way to Camp II, got a nice early start, we were out of Camp I at 6 a.m., walking in the shadows, just the last half hour before Camp II, we had a very pleasant morning, the only other people on the trail right then were Sherpas, many of them ours. When we got up to our sites at Camp II, it's really something to see, our guys were going to work like crazy getting up some big tents and getting our Camp II started. We've got people up there tonight, our Sherpas are still working on the camp and our Camp II staff, our cooks, so that's all going. Here at Camp I a few others from our team have come in, Casy Grom and his climbers, Ryan Campbell and his climbers are now here as well. That, an another beautiful blue sky day, a little windy up high, but we've had actually very good weather the whole time we've been at base camp so far, there really hasn't been any kind of storm activity, just the normal clouding up in the afternoon and sometimes a little snow shower in the afternoon, and today we didn't even get much of that. So the weather has been great and we hope it continues. And my hope for myself and Nicky and Sanduk is to go up to Camp II to sleep tomorrow night. We'll see how it goes. All for now.
