We received a call from Ben this morning that we expect to
be the last one for several days. The plan is to leave Base Camp (15,750’) at 2:30
am so they can climb to Camp 2 (21,000’). Because of weather, they are
going to skip Camp 1. Ben said there are still some details to be worked out, but each day they will move to the next camp - Camp 2, 3, 4 and then Summit. Over
the next few days they will have very little sleep and just enough food for the nourishment
they need. Someone on the mountain has given Ben some strong muscle relaxers so
his back pain is under control right now. Please be praying for strength,
wisdom and safety for the team. He plans to send text messages, so I will
update the blog as I receive more news. Thank you again for your prayers!
