The weather did not cooperate so after spending the night at the North Col, Robert and the team returned to Advanced Base Camp. A bid for the summit was deemed too dangerous due to high winds, cold temps, with the possibility of frost bite. Instead this effort is considered a second rotation in preparation for the main event. The team will now call ABC home where they will rest and recover for the next few days and wait for a weather window. This information was posted on the Altitude Junkies site early this morning.
I don't expect to hear directly from Robert but will monitor the main information sites for Everest and keep this blog up to date. Patience is a virtue that climbers must have in abundance! I am hoping and praying for a weather window to arrive very soon.
It is windy and 100 degrees here in Nebraska. Summer arrived today!
