Evening
of the 24th (Base Camp time)
John
Race just called down from Camp 3 and talked to Scott
at ABC. Scott just called Eric Simonson on the
satellite phone and reports that the guided team
(JR, Slate, Bruce, Chris, Olivia) are settled in at
Camp 3 and ready to start for the summit early
tomorrow morning. Their three Sherpas will come
up from Camp 2 and meet them at C3 in the
morning (the Sherpas would rather climb from C2 than
C3). Each guided climber has oxygen at Camp
3 for sleeping on tonight, and for climbing tomorrow.
Their goal for tomorrow is to go to the summit, then
descend to Camp 2. The second team (Mike and
Reid, and one Sherpa) are at Camp 2 now, and will move
up to Camp 3 tomorrow, and hope for the summit the
next day (the 26th). Scott and Steve are at ABC
and will start for the summit tomorrow.
