Mt. Everest: Team Takes a Day Off
It was shower day for the climbing team. This was our designated "day off" so that all could get a good night's sleep without any nervousness about what might be demanded of another training/climbing day. It seemed to do the trick... we all showed up late for the pre-breakfast coffee and tea session. There was a pretty good procession of old friends and fellow guides coming to say hello and exchange radio frequencies today. Climbing teams are now pouring in, the Puja flags are going up everywhere and brightly colored tents are blossoming in every direction.
We'll make our first push through the icefall tomorrow... Sherpas and guides, at least. Our goal will be to check out the route and to establish Camp 1 at close to 20,000 ft.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

I climb Everest vicariously through your strong efforts, and I am sure thousands of others do also. Wishing you success and most importantly, safety! And thank you immensely for the daily reports.
