Bill just called from Camp 3.  He made it to the “second step”, about 4 hours from the summit and turned around.  He said the weather was horrible, wind blowing, snowing, miserable.  He said he passed by a couple bodies and has decided it’s time to find something else to do.  He is going to rest a little and then head down.  I could hear his oxygen in the background as I sat here with Amy and Ollie, trying to give Ollie oxygen. He said that he felt strong and if the weather had been better he thought he would have been able to do it.
