Moving On Up!
Just received word from Tonya that she will be heading up the mountain on her push for the summit, beginning tomorrow morning (local Nepal time). She and her team are in a bit of a crunch for time as their expedition is set to depart the mountain on the 24th of May. If they begin moving up now, they have just enough time to reach the top and return to Base Camp before their support and porter crew arrive on the 23rd to help with departure. So, despite a less than stellar weather forecast the team is going to move up and keep going up until the mountain tells them to go down. This will be their final push. If the weather holds, there should be some team members reaching the summit within the next few days to a week...and if the weather proves to not be favorable, they will descend having given it their best shot.
