Everest Camp 2
May 19, 2007

Namaste,

Terry and I and our Sherpas are here at Camp 2. The climb from Camp 1 to Camp 2 was long and very tiring and the blazing sun did not help matters. I was pretty tired when I pulled in to Camp 2. However, a nice rest and a good lunch and dinner have rejuvenated me and I feel good.

Tomorrow at 9 :30 AM we will move up to Camp 3. It will also be a difficult day as it involves negotiating the Lhotse face again, but we will be rested, our Sherpas will be with us, and we will arrive at Camp 3 safely.

Once I get there, I will call another report. There is not much new to report so I will sign off for now and report back tomorrow.
