Right now, everything is going well and the whole team is together and we're gonna take a rest day tomorrow and do some hiking. This is a great elevation to acclimatize at, we are at about 12,000 feet and we want to take advantage of that for a couple of nights before moving on to Tingri, which is over 14,000 feet.
Our plan right now is to send our three trucks and Sherpas ahead tomorrow to Tingri and they will work on getting our equipment organized in Tingri to go on into Base Camp. Meanwhile, the rest of us will take an extra day and do some hiking here. So that is about it, all's well. Goodbye.
Eric Simonson, Expedition Leader
