The team have made regular contact over the past week (I have included their SMS messages below). Unsettled weather continues to hamper progress on the proposed line. Ken's cold has subsided and the team have managed to acclimatize to 5500m. Reconnaissance continues around the mountain with a number of alternative objectives being considered in light of the current conditions.

Thanks for the updates. Here's hoping they can climb the big rock they came there to scale.
By the way, Ken doesn't just sleep when he's not climbing. He eats too.
