Messages from Eric; At Camp 2
From Eric: Got to camp 2 during a lull in the storm. Thought about going all the way as I am feeding good but my legs are still worn out. Leaving for BC at 6 am. Storm will get too bad to move by afternoon they say. Tracker is almost dead so probably won't track but will text when I get to BC. They are giving me lots of oxygen and I am taking it.
If Peter is still there I will eat twice what he's having.
Peter has been in telephone contact with the expedition leader at Base Camp, who is in radio contact with Eric. When he was still at Camp 3, he had and the Sherpas had lots of food and fuel (for cooking and making hot drinks). Getting to Camp 2, that will only be improved since that is the most comfortable of their high camps and they have more food, supplies, and additional Sherpa support.
Other teams are on their way up right now (all those teams that have been waiting so long). I believe they are all in Camp 2 right now.
