From AAI guide Tad McCrea...

The team moved to Camp 1 (16,400ft/5,000m) today and made good time.

We are acclimating well and looking at the potential for a summit window later this week. There are still a few steps in our way, carrying to Camp 2, moving to Camp 2, and moving to Camp 3.

The weather has shown a down ward trend with some strong, cold winds and some snow (as we mentioned previously in one of our dispatches). Hope it holds off a little longer for us.
