The weather today was beautiful and clear, but windy. This morning Ed, Scott, Kamen, Petya, Rejean, Dawes, and Karel moved to C2 and helped the Sherpas get more tents set up and secured from the wind. Hamill and his crew, along with the Singapore women took an acclimatization hike from C1 towards 2, and returned to C1. Shea and Golden, and Chris Bergum, moved up from BC to C1 today. So far everything is going well and we are only a few days away from being able to start fixing rope towards C3. [More at IMG]
