Settling in at Camp 1 (Satellite Phone Dispatch)

(9:08 PM - Nepal Time) Dan & I are at Camp 1. The last of the Russian team passed us on their way down. They are tired but in good spirits. Climbing was done in overcast conditions with light snow. There has been no wind. It appears as though a light system has stalled over us. Earlier we enjoyed dinner. Presently we're boiling water before turning in for the night. Tomorrow we continue to Camp 2.

The North Face Caroline Down Coat - Women's

Its insultingly cold outside, but you dont want to dress in an Everest-style cover-all just to stay warm. The North Face Womens Caroline Down Coat wraps from your neck to your knees in warm, 600-fill goose down, and adds a flattering waist-belt to boot.
