Sept 29th - Made it to Camp 4 (7400m)

Derek and Tchouky reached Camp 4 this afternoon.  They are resting now and planning to start their ascent to the summit at about 2am Nepal time Wednesday morning.  The weather forecast sounds good - a bit of cloud at 7000m but clear and no wind above that.  Should be a perfect day for a summit attempt.  The climb from Camp 4 to the summit should take anywhere between 5 - 9 hours.  They will have their skis with them and plan to ski down from the summit, hopefully all the way back to Base Camp.  Please keep all those good thoughts, positive karma and prayers for perfect weather heading their way!!
