Back in Base Camp again

The team has been up and down the mountain a few times now, trying to get Camp II established, but bad weather has hampered their efforts. They have descended back to Base Camp now to wait until the snow on the upper mountain settles out to make travel a bit easier.

At this point they are still on schedule and have ample time to sit back and wait for the mountain conditions to improve, which puts them in a good position compared to some other teams who are running out of time.

Otherwise the team is doing well, really enjoying the mountain and the people in the region.
