This is just a quick post to let you know that we will be departing for Camp 1 at 3am local (about 7.5 hours from now). Hopefully I can get a few hours sleep.
We climbed about a couple hours into the icefall today. It was a good practice run for us. Then we had buffalo steak for dinner and cheesecake for dessert. Yum!
Our guide, Ben, will be updating the AAI cybercast while we are on rotation so you can check-in on their website (the link is on my blog home page) for the next four days for status updates. I won’t be able to post again until we return to Base Camp which should be 27 April.
See you in a few days!

Veronica says: Just read the update. Prayers for the Sherpa traveling on the icefalls. Those ladders…man.. and this is just camp 1. Sending love, warmth, good weather and prayers.
John Horn says: Hi Geneva! We met a few years ago. I am an old friend and golfing buddy of your Dad here in San Antonio, and you may remember, you and I share a love of wine.
Just chatted with Rich and he advised that you guys are off on one of the world’s greatest adventures – to summit Mt Everest. We’ve lived/traveled all over the world
but your adventure is something very special. By just being there you and Brian are now members of a very small, very exclusive, very special club. Evelia and I are
very proud of you and wish you, your team and all of the other climbers success and a safe return! Will be following your progress. You are in our thoughts and prayers
so by all means, enjoy your “Journey 2 the Top!”
John & Evelia Horn
San Antonio, TX
