We are still sitting around waiting for good weather. This morning I went for a scramble up the mountain next to camp and made it to 18,200' (1,200' above camp). It took me 55 minutes which was quite fast so I am pleased with my acclimatizing.
The weather is supposed to remain windy for another week or more.
Phil has assigned each of us our Sherpa for the summit push. I will be climbing with Sangee Sherpa. He pronounces it "Sanghee". He is the strongest Sherpa on the team, is probably in his mid-forties, is super friendly and happy-go-lucky. I like him a lot and am very pleased with the assignment.

Robert...fantastic on the acclimatization and most importantly stay well. Sange sounds super and I am sure you will both be on the top soon...getting close and get fired up when they "ring the bell" to head to the top.
