Today, due to deteriorating weather, the team came to a consensus that it was best to turn around on the way to Camp 4 (High Camp, 17,300ft). We gave it a good shot but it just wasn't in the cards this season. Tomorrow we will have an easy morning before we come together to descend off the mountain. Team 2, over and out.

Wise decision! Happy to hear that everybody is safe. Our compliments go out to your courageous team. Greetings from all the "Jeff-colleagues" from the Berlin office. We look forward to seeing pictures.
