Today Team 5 ascended to High Camp/Camp 4 (17,200ft) to leave a minimal cache so that their official camp move to High Camp wouldn’t be as difficult. They are hoping for a weather window over the next couple of days to reach High Camp and try for the summit. Everyone did very well on the and now they are eating dinner. We look forward to hearing more from Team 5 soon.
