Hello family, friends, and loved ones. This is Team Red and Team Blue. This is Jeffrey James Justman, now known as Clint Eastwood (because of his hoarse, gravelly voice), reporting. We are all safe up at Camp 4. The team cannot tell you how excited we are. 26,000 feet takes a tremendous amount of energy. The entire team today did an incredible job. For the guides it’s pretty exciting. We’re going to take a rest day tomorrow. The weather is good. Please knock on wood, say a prayer, keep your fingers crossed for continued good weather, and in a couple more days we should have this thing done and be on our way down. But first things first, our team of sherpas are doing an incredible job – hot drinks are flowing, soup is flowing, and we’re having dal bhat for dinner. Everyone is relaxing on oxygen, which is a very nice thing, allowing us to recover a little bit more. So tonight we’re going to continue with more of the same. Everyone is doing great, I can’t emphasize that enough. We are all very, very happy, and very excited to be here. So stay tuned. We’ll touch base with you tomorrow on our rest day to say hello again. And again, please keep those fingers crossed – it looks like we still have some good weather to come.
