I read on a climber's blog who is at Camp 3 that the ropes are now in place! Great news for Kyle. I expect that he will make his way to Camp 3 tonight (it will be daytime Friday on Everest) and then attempt to summit later tomorrow. This is the toughest stretch, but the climber at Camp 3 says the conditions are favorable for a summit. I think everyone was as freaked out as I was by Max's post about the conditions and the strain on the body, but this is what Kyle has trained to do. He will make it! Keep him in your thoughts and prayers these next few days.

I know you can do it Kyle. I have been watching Everest videos to appreciate what you are going through. I can't imagine the difficulty. I'm proud of you Kyle! I can't believe you are there and going for it, but will celebrate victory with you. I'm praying for you many times everyday. What an amazing task!
