Still Waiting out the Weather at the South Col

Via Satellite Phone - LISTEN IN!

This is Dave, still at 26000 feet, still in a snow storm. It’s almost one in the afternoon and we are still sitting up here sipping on our oxygen, trying to keep drinking water. Hoping for a change in the weather tonight, it will be about our last chance of tagging the summit of Mt. Everest. So we are watching as some of the teams that went up today have made their way down in the snow storm, they were pretty much in it all day but they seem to be doing alright with it. We want these clouds to clear out a bit and not too much wind to come up. We’ll see. We’ve got another nine or ten hours and we’ll see what we get. All for now.
