Second Summit Team move to High Camp
31 May 2005    GPS-pos: °' | °' | Alt: 0 M
Jamie and the team report cloud and moderate winds greet them at the tent door this morning at 7700m camp.
The weather reports – we have given up listening to after yesterdays debacle.
Moe has elected to descend as the weather and his energy levels are not matching the requirements of the summit. Moe has beaten his previous high altitude record and has spent time admiring one of the most amazing views from 80% up the North Face of Everest.
Paul and Namgyl are moving up with Jamie and Suhki to 8200m and will see what to morrow brings.
Jamie has just called in on the radio, Suhki has turned back just under 8000m as her speed has slowed so much that a summit will not be possible for her this time. A good effort though, a tough job to climb Everest for anyone, even experienced climbers, but she has come along on this trip where no one speaks Hindi – her language, she has a smattering of English, and this is her first 8000m peak. So well done for her achievements.
Paul, Namgyl and Jamie will spend tonight at 8250m high camp and shoot for the summit on the 1st of June, lets hope the weather gods smile on them. It will largely depend on the angle of the wind and hopefully some protection from the summit ridge.
