Team Everest prepares for Summit Attempt!

Today our Team Everest climbers returned to Everest base camp after a
few days rest down in Namche and Debuche. Everyone is feeling well
rested and strong after the "drop back" that allows for excellent
recovery from the climbing rotations to our high camps.

This afternoon we practiced with our oxygen delivery systems and
became familiar with how these systems function. We discussed our
plan for this final "summit" rotation on Everest. We are planning to
attempt the summit on May 18th or May 19th at this point. We will
climb to Camp 2 tomorrow morning and then evaluate the weather,
resting one or two days there.

Please follow our blog for daily dispatches on our climbing progress!
