The team was able to carry a load of gear(food, fuel, and some extra equipment for the traverse) up to the ridge going to high camp at 16,400 feet yesterday. This is a big step towards moving up to the 17,200 foot West Buttress high camp. Today they took a well deserved rest and acclimitazation day, and hope to move to the 17 camp tommorow. The weather has remained fairly nice(not much wind) up high on the mountain for several days now, and they are taking advantage of this weather to get in position to summit and make the traverse.
If they call in with the Sat Phone tonight I'll update this again!
