May 14, 2007 - UPDATE
The team is still at 14,200. They were unable to move up today due to weather. They will try again tomorrow to move to 17,000 feet. They are awaiting a big storm right now. It is supposed to snow six to eight inches tonight with 50 mph winds. Right now it is zero degrees. It will be about minus five degrees tonight. The last "up and down day" is Thursday. The team will either be moving up to the next camp or coming down off the mountain on that day. Currently there are two teams at 17,000 feet that are unaccounted for. They have not been heard from for five days. It may be that they just are not able to communicate with their base camp. To Priscilla, Ed is doing well. He had a big nap today and let one of his water bottles freeze up. Everyone on the team is fine. Interesting tidbit from Wes: one of their team members, Noel, has climbed Everest. If he summits Denali he will try to hike from the summit all the way down to the coast. One more note - please keep your comments clean. This site is for everyone to enjoy. Thank you.
