02 Oct - SummitClimb members + Sherpa descended to basecamp today and our entire team is safe and sound. Last night, a storm came to the mountain and deposited at least 1 meter of new snow. We have made the decision to end our expedition due to avalanche danger, incoming weather, and it being the last days before we are supposed to return to Kathmandu. While we give up the summit, we embrace our collective well-being and look forward to returning home to our loved-ones with stories of the great mountain!

01 Oct - Our team is in Camp 3 and resting before attempting the summit. Temperatures are cooler now and team members await calmer winds before going up higher. Camp 3 is 6700m.

20 Sept - All members are warm and cozy at Camp 2 (6300m). Everyone worked hard today to navigate the fixed lines up the glacier, at times the rope went up vertical ice shelves. Myself and the sherpa team are very proud of their efforts! We are now above the clouds in mountaineering paradise. Our Sherpa team worked extremely hard to set up this camp and help team members reach it today. Very proud!

18 Sept - Our team is in Camp 1 for the night. We enjoyed a winding walk up the glacier crossing many crevasses in a light snowfall. Now getting ready to sleep at 5600m, we are filling our stomachs with tea & hot noodles before tucking away into warm sleeping bags.

17 Sept - Our team is happy and healthy and patiently waiting for good weather. In the mean time, we have become fully acclimated to 5000m. Today we stayed warm and dry in basecamp during a heavy snowfall. Tomorrow we are hoping to head uphill for nights at camp 1 and 2. Our Sherpa team has been hard at work stocking Camp 1 with everything we need for the upper mountain. We are proud of their efforts!
