April 28, 2006

Great news today as all our oxygen arrived by truck from Nepal. The 02 had been held up in customs with the general strike. The truck also had much of our gear that we needed before we go high on the mountain. The team has spent the day doing short hikes to aid acclimatization and oraganizing gear.
We had more snow yesterday afternoon, which meant up high the mountain was getting hammered. I am happy to say that today has been picture perfect, not a cloud in the sky and very little wind. If we could keep our fingers crossed that in a months time we could have summit weather like this I'd be very happy.
The Sherpa all have there Aerogel baseball hats on, so I'll get a photo to send. We head up the mountain on Sunday to our Advanced Base Camp (ABC).

Will post some time after that.
