Update From Camp II

Maureen provided update after discussion with Brian Jones May 20th PST 9:00pm:

Just a short update to let everyone know that we are doing very well. Wayne has departed due to issues with his knees, and we were sorry to see him head down. Eric, Daryl, Sebastian John and myself are fine. The only call of stress came from Daryl who managed to get himself trapped in his sleeping bag and required assistance to untangle himself!

We are having a rest day in Camp II then on the 22nd we will move to Camp III, for a day before moving to Camp IV on the 23 there we plan a short rest before making a bid for the summit on the 24th. The weather forcast for the 24th is better than on the initial planned date of the 22 or 23rd.

There have been a couple of teams who have made it to the summit already so the window of opportunity will hopefully stay open for us.

Thanks for checking in,
