Climb up to 16,400 ft

The team had another productive day today. They carried a load of mostly food and fuel up to about 16,400 ft. They did this to get a bit of acclimitization and to get some of the weight of their loads up on the ridge so that when they are ready to move to high camp they can save a bit of effort. Tomorrow they plan to take a full rest day to recharge, recover, and acclimate before pushing up to high camp and on for the summit. Chris said a couple of the climbers are fighting a bit of a cold, so tomorrow's rest day will be welcomed by all.
