Clouds, Sunshine and Wind

Hi everyone,

Today's weather at Basecamp is mixed. In the early to late morning, we have a cloudless blue sky with strong winds. In the early afternoon, the clouds are in and right now, we have a good sunshine alternating with cloudy weather. However, the wind had picked up a fair deal today!

Our 3 climbers are still at Advance Basecamp, waiting for weather to break.

Latest - ALL 6 American climbers and 1 doctor came back down to base camp, leaving David, Gil, Rozani at ABC and another 2 climbers at north col.

Signing Off,
