Hi Mountain Zone, this is Ellie calling from Base Camp. Just talked to the folks up at the South Col and looks like although it's snowing here at Base Camp, they are right at the top of the clouds and are planning to leave in about two hours for the summit. They will call in a Mountain Zone report before they leave. So just wanted to give you guys a head's up that that's going to be coming down.

Okay so just giving you guys a head's up and will be calling in about two hours with a departure report from the South Col. Talk to you soon.

Ellie Henke, Alpine Ascents and MountainZone.com Correspondent
