Snowing Like Crazy on Mount Everest

Via Satellite Phone - LISTEN IN!

GreatOutdoors, Dave Hahn at base camp, and another big day on Mount Everest. Not by me, I was just resting down at base camp today, but up on the mountain, where it counts, three of our Sherpa team made it to the South Col today, 26,000 feet, as part of a combined fixing team of a few teams. So that's pretty momentous, pretty incredible that in just three days, two and half days really, of fixing the teams made it all the way up the Lhotse Face to the South Col, opening the door. A number of our Sherpas will be carrying loads up there tomorrow, and really putting our team in position. A few of our climbing members are spending the night at Camp III tonight, and a few others from the team touched Camp III and jumped back down to Camp II Our hope, mine and Nicky's and Sanduk Dorje's was to go up tomorrow and start our way up for an acclimatization round, I'm not sure that's going to happen, it's snowing like crazy here in the middle of the night at base camp. And we'll see what happens. Things are moving here for the most part, and I'll keep you informed.
