May 17, 2009 – Today everyone made the final preparations for our summit bids. Tomorrow morning everyone at Camp 2 heads for Camp 3. At BC we have Kamen/Pasang Rinjing, Petya/Nima Karma, Jon/Phinjo, Peh Gee/Dawa, Joanne/Datenji, and Justin all heading up to Camp 2. Also going up tomorrow from BC are seven sherpas to Camp 2 to sleep and support the summit bids, and two sherpas to Camp 1 to finish bringing down the gear there (this morning some of the C1 tents were brought down, since this camp will not be used any more) [More at IMG]
