The team took a helicopter this morning down to Namche (11,000 feet) for rest, relaxation, normal(ish) food, real beds, hot showers and much better internet! The air is thick and they all are a lot happier :) It's amazing the difference (last year and this year) when talking to Dave at Namche. He is upbeat, energetic and overall more relaxed. They will be there for a few days while waiting for the fixed lines to go all the way to the summit. By all accounts it seems like this season is going fairly well and they expect the lines to be in soon. Some weather reports indicate a summit window coming soon, next week we might hopefully see the first summits on the south side. I have learned not to get excited about that (and they have learned that too.) It's still too early to count our chickens. But keeping good thoughts and positive vibes!
Here are some pics from their last rotation:
