The expedition is doing great! They move as a solid team and are highly motivated, according to the report we just received from Jacob. They are resting at Camp II "Chopper Camp" now, at 17,700 ft. The group has already experimented real high altitude; they made a carry of gear and food to High Camp, the "Colera Camp", which is at 6000m (19,685 ft). The 8 remaining climbers (one person was not acclimatizing well and had to remain at lower altitude) and three guides are super strong, says Jacob. They plan to move to High Camp tomorrow and go for the summit on Friday or Saurday. Weather forecast is good for both days. I attach a picture (from a previous trip) of High Camp. Keep your fingers crossed and wait for more dispatches...
