  • 9:00am- Taking another rest day. Everyone woke up with headaches or has had them all night. Robert our team doctor has been handing out a cocktail of drugs for everyone to take, to try to get acclimated. Everyone is in good spirits. Our plan for tomorrow is for the rope teams with Darol to leave around 8:00 AM and spend the night on the trail somewhere around 17,500ft. Everyone else will leave the following morning around 3:00 AM and that should allow for all of us to reach the summit together.
