Ania and Tarke are back down to high camp now after a summitting Lhotse this morning.  They are brewing up some tea and having a bit to eat and then they’ll continue down to Camp 3 for the night.  Great job Ania!!

The Everest Team is feeling strong and ready for their summit bid tonight.  The winds are forecast to be even lighter tonight and tomorrow, so they should get a nice day.   It was a beautiful day at the S. Col today and the day of rest and sucking on Oxygen seems to have done everybody some good.  They’ll try to get a few hours of sleep this afternoon/evening before getting up and firing up the stoves in the dark for some tea and food to get them fueled up for the day.
