Messages from Eric: C3, hoping for C2 today

We had to get out of camp 4. It's hellish and the windstorm started again. Now in a terrible storm at camp 3 but better here than there. I'm pretty physically spent. Solid on oxygen through the night with a Porter who never said a word. Slept like a rock through the night. It was more of a coma. 

Headed for camp 2 later today when the winds decrease accompanied by my guardian angel Ang Dowa. If possible, and with sleep, will descend to base camp the day after. I'll catch a helicopter to Lukla and plane to Kathmandu as soon as weather permits.
