Gettting Ready For Summit Push

Tonya reached Camp 4 - high camp - yesterday afternoon (local Nepal time) and will be leaving for the summit push around 8pm...(that's around 8am this morning Mountain Time in the US).  So within the next hour or so the team should be out of their tents and moving up.  All of this is, of course, weather dependent.  The latest news is that the weather is holding and all is good, but the most recent round of forecasts calls for a spike in the winds tonight into tomorrow morning.  If all goes according to plan, the climb to the top can easily take 20 plus hours of climbing.  We may not hear from the team for a while, but will post updates as often as possible.
