Well the team moved up to Camp 2, otherwise known as Helicopter Camp (there used to be the remnants of a crashed Lama helicopter just above camp). Camp is at 18,000 feet and the team made great time moving up.
Everyone is resting in their tents and plan to make a carry up to high camp tomorrow. Chris says that it looks like a snow storm might be brewing, so they are going to play each day by ear from here on out. If everyone feels good tomorrow, they will carry to high camp and then they will either move up the following day, or remain at Camp 2 for an additional rest/acclimatization day. There are pros and cons to both and this is the time on an expedition where good communication is crucial between team members, so that Chris can best assess everyone and make the most informed decision possible about how to proceed.

Please wish a Merry Christmas to Ryan and the rest of the team from Kate. I am in Massachusetts with my family enjoying a very white Christmas this year. We still have over a foot of snow from a couple of weekend storms. Love you, Ryan. The blog is a gripping read and I can't wait to hear about your adventure in person!
