This is Charles here. Greg [Wilson] and Eric [Simonson] are up on the mountain. This morning we received a radio call from them at 8am to say that they were near the top of the Icefall. Things are going well, and we'll check in with them at ten o'clock our time when they should be safely in Camp I (19,500') and have stoves up and running. I'll check in later; that's it for now.

— Charles Corfield, Expedition Science Manager
