Paul arrived at Camp 2 on April 20.  His throat is much better and his acclimatization is going well.  He will remain at Camp 2 until April 25, making daily trips up the Lhotse Face to continue acclimatizing. He is not climbing all the way to camp 3 everyday, but making mini-ascents up the Lhotse face daily in order to continue his acclimation for the Summit push and the work he is planning [See below for link]. His sherpas are also acclimatizing well and are continuing to bring food and equipment to Camp 3 in preparation for Paul's arrival on April 26.  D. Giorgio
