Update Received: May 13, 2014. 11:33am PST.  Yesterday, Tad celebrated his 29th birthday at 11,000 feet in Camp 2. Weather has moved in, so Team 1 is safely taking a rest day from climbing, but not from the delicious meals and treats courtesy of Kai.  The team is strong and they hope to move up to 14,000 feet on Wednesday.
