Oct 27: Imja Tse Base Camp, 16,800'

The gear has been checked for the umpteenth time.

Climbing routines and procedures have been practiced.

We are fed and are in our sleeping bags trying to get some rest, if not actual sleep.

It is snowing, but we can see stars through the flurries.

Tonight, at 0200, we go.

Namaste,
Jim Ronning
