Brad called in a short time ago to lest us know the entire team was in camp 3 at 7000m and doing well after a windy and snowy day. Safely ensconced in their airy abode at camp
three tonight they are making preparations for pushing the route through to the high
camp tomorrow. After the sun has warmed them up tomorrow they will pack up most
of the tents and move them higher on the hill to shorten up the summit day.

In some years when the conditions are good the team will
make for the top from nearer to 7100m but in other years when necessary we
establish a higher camp nearer to 7400m where there are a few flattish spots. Moving the camp up makes it much easier to reach the col and have time for a run all the way to the true summit if the winds and clouds allow.

The weather is predicted to allow for a summit bid though the winds may be as high as 30-40kmph so it will be a challenging summit bid for sure.
