Early in the morning, Garrett Madison and Lakpa Rita headed up with 5 members of the team to camp one. They made great time and are safely tucked into camp one having just finished up a delicious dinner. Early tomorrow morning Ben Jones and Brien Sheedy will bring up the remaining seven members to camp one. We will be a full group spending one night at camp one and then continuing on to camp two the following day. From there we will all rest at camp two and then head up to touch camp three and return to camp two the same day. After that we will all head back down to basecamp, finishing our second rotation.
All of us in basecamp today enjoyed another beautiful day with sunshine, showers, and great meals. Everyone is doing very well and excited to get back up on the mountain for the second of three rotations. Our Sherpas are also continuing to make progress up the mountain with loads of gear and the fixing up to the south col looks to be on schedule. Today is also a historical day on Everest which marks the 50th anniversary of the first American ascent of Everest on May 1,1963.
We'll continue to send updates as we are up on our second rotation,
Ben Jones
