CTSS is on the move. Here’s the latest from Everest:
Our first wave of climbers pushed up from Camp 2 to Camp 3 today in great weather. They are currently sleeping on oxygen. They’ll move up to the South Col tomorrow morning and are currently looking at a summit bid for the morning of May 15th. Logistics, oxygen, and staff are in place.
