CST Tennessee; May 21 9:45 AM Everest, Tibet
Ben called from just above
7,900 meters. He was in a snowstorm that he described as a whiteout. He
believes the weather will improve shortly and he is now heading up the
mountain and intends to bypass Camp 6 and go straight to the summit. He was
not on oxygen and intends to start around 27,000 feet. As we get information
from either Ben or Jon we will continue to update
