He'll sleep now and then get up and head to C2. They are going slow and steady up this 'hill' and it seems to be working for the entire team. It sounds like he's acclimated well but is still planning on using oxygen as he gets closer. They're still on track to summit sometime overnight Saturday/Sunday morning. I will continue to keep everyone posted! And I know I've said it before, but THANK YOU for all the prayers and support! It means the world to us!! xoxoxo to all!
