9:00 am EST.  Here is a quick update... I just got off the phone with Joel from Base Camp. Not all of the details are in, but it seems that the Team encountered some significant terrain difficulties, deep snow possibly, during their climb from Camp 3 to 4. They have successfully put in a Camp 3 1/2 at about 7700 meters and the three are safe. It is undetermined if they will be going to Camp 4 tomorrow or attempt the summit from this position. Fortunately, the previous weather forecast still has Friday as an acceptable day. Joel is attempting to download an updated weather forecast as I am writing this. A full dispatch from Base Camp will follow later today (hopefully, if the expedition weary laptop is up to it).
