    More info from May 7
    The team is at Camp 2 and doing well. They will move to Camp 3 today, up the Lhotse face, and return to Camp 2 for one more night of acclimatization. Everyone will return to base camp on Tuesday to rest and get ready for the summit window to open.
    Arita and Ang Passang are on their way to Camp 4, below the South Col, to get set up.
   This morning Ang Nima Sherpa, known as the Icefall Doctor, came by to help carry up eight oxygen bottles to Camp 2 for the SuperSherpas team.
    Accompanying Ang Nima was Ang Kami Sherpa and Ang Gaylzyn. The icefall doctors, like the SuperSherpas, have existed in the shadows (literally) of the fame that accrues to the foreign teams and climbers. They are hired by the Sagamartha Pollution Control Committee, which is in turn paid by expedition teams for their services. Being in charge of maintaining the precarious and dangerous paths through the ever changing glacier falls to this small band of intrepid Sherpas. They work everyday in the most dangerous part of Mt. Everest. They are both very talented and incredibly aware of the invisible signals that the moving mass generates. This "awareness" has been the key to their great safety record. Thank you to the Ice Fall Doctors for their heroic efforts to keep us all safe.
   Congratulations to trekker Rulon Bunker who, with dogged determination, made it to base camp. His brother Lance has been anxiously awaiting his arrival.
