    May 11
    Today the SuperSherpas held their team meeting for the summit push. This is a very important meeting. Its primary purpose is to review all of the safety measures for the team members on their varied jobs up to the summit. Apa and Lhakpa are summit veterans and make sure that the team is fully briefed prior to any climbing that will be done. Tomorrow morning the team will say their prayers at our Puja alter and the Juniper will be lit. The Juniper is replenished and continues to burn, sending up fragrant smoke to the gods, until their safe return.
    Please say your prayers for the safe return of the entire Supersherpa team.
    Jerry Mika, SuperSherpas base camp manager
