Evening 19th May Nepal Time:

The team are all snuggled in up at Camp 3, sleeping on oxygen. They did a great job climbing up the Lhotse Face today which was in good condition. The recent dusting of snow stuck and the steps are well kicked in by this point in the season. They will be getting up at 4am to climb up to South Col where they will rest for about 8 hours or so.

They will then get up and aim to depart nice and early from Camp 4 (approx. 7pm local time) to start their summit bids!

Look for CTSS summits on the morning of 21st May.

Everyone made good time and is feeling strong. Weather is on our side with very low winds throughout this summit window period.

Meanwhile our first Everest summit team made is all the way back to Kathmandu yesterday, enjoyed long warm showers and will be on their way home to you all very soon.
