Summit push coming!

The Madison Mountaineering Ama Dablam expedition team is in position to go for the summit! Nestled into the legendary Camp II atop Ama Dablam’s Southwest Ridge, the team is tucked in for the evening and planning to rest tomorrow before setting off for the summit; surely a big day coming up! All the training and preparation is behind them. Now all there is left to do is go climbing! The team is psyched and ready to go. Expedition leader, Terray Sylvester checks in with this dispatch from Camp II:

Hello from Camp II ! We woke early this morning in Camp I, and by 11 a.m. we were settling into our tents here at about 6,060m. We’re planning to rest all afternoon and into the evening, and then start for the summit before midnight. We’ll be in touch tomorrow!
