From a series of dispatches from the Alpine Ascents 2007 Everest Expedition team.
Namaste and Tashe Delek from the South Col. It’s now late afternoon of the 21st. We are sitting here in our tents nice and cozy, enjoying soup, resting, and getting some oxygen on board. I’m sitting in the tent with Tony and James, we’re all packing up and getting ready for our departure tonight. As it stands right now it looks like our weather is holding. We should have a pretty decent summit day. We plan on having a little more dinner here in the next hour and then resting for a couple hours, waking up about 8:30 in the dark, then getting packed up the rest of the way and heading out by 9:30pm. Right now we have calm winds, after a little cloud this afternoon on the summit. Now it’s cleared up again, so we’re all hopeful and looking forward to a safe summit and return to Camp 4 tomorrow evening.
We will be in touch whenever we can by radio, and Ellie will relay those messages updating our progress along the way to keep you all informed. We’re thinking of everyone back home and want you to wish us the best. That’s all from Camp 4
