Happy Mother's Day from Camp II

It has been awhile between updates but here we are at Camp II. Everyone here is healthy and in good spirits, and the Weather is great! The mountain is now free of restrictions now that the Olympic torch relay has completed its trip to the top of the world. We are waiting for many of the groups to go ahead, so that we can approach the top at our comfort (a relative term) and speed.

A happy Mother's Day to all the moms back home. The sat phone coverage hasn't been that great, so if you don't get a call, know that you are in our thoughts.

We will have spent three nights here after tonight, then we will head for Camp III tomorrow where we will spend one night, before descending back to Camp II. On the 13th we will be returning to Camp III for one night then down to camp II on the 14th, dropping down to Base Camp for a three day rest. The plan is to make a bid for the summit starting on the 18th or 19th, hopefully summitting on the 22nd or 23rd.
