5/20/05-Update: New Summit Plans: Scott Wazny called this morning to check in and he had returned to Base Camp, due to the extremely high winds and bitter cold conditions at Camp III, which he described as "frostbite weather." He expressed his amazement at how bad the weather is this year since around 300 climbers summited the mountain last year at this time. He sounded in good spirits and was very reasonable about the weather conditions.
His new plan is to leave Base Camp on May 24th to head up the mountain again to try for the summit, so his new target summit date is May 28th at this point. This is weather-permitting, of course. He said he will call me before he leaves BC.
