Zoners, this is Dave Mencin, 6:30am. Our Sherpas have caught up with Wally, and they are leading that pitch — right now, as I speak — that turned around the climbers yesterday for lack of equipment.

Apa Sherpa is leading the pitch, and Wally says it looks very doable. They're there very early, and the weather is still very good, so things are looking good. I'll keep you informed.
