May 3, 2007 - UPDATE
Yesterday (Wednesday) the group climbed from base camp to Base Camp I. The elevation is 7,800 feet. The excitement of the day was that Wes fell into a crevasse up to his waist. Another member of the group fell into a crevasse up to his chest. Both were pulled up and are uninjured. After that the group put on their snowshoes to continue the trek up to Base Camp I. The weather was overcast with light snow flurries. The team may continue on to Camp II today depending on how they all feel. The updates are short as we only have about 40 seconds to talk before the phone cuts out.
