4/25/05 - Scott Wazny summited Island Peak successfully on April 14 and arrived at Everest Base Camp on April 16. As of April 25, he had already established Camp I and Camp II. He has also taken one trip up to Camp III, which is set at ~24,500 ft. Next they will move everything up to Camp II and progress to the higher camps, hopefully reaching Camp IV around April 30. His planned summit day is now slated for May 15 (depending on weather conditions, of course). Scott called from base camp, where they were spending a day to rest and eat well to strengthen themselves, enjoying the rich oxygen down "low" before they head back up to higher elevations. Scott is accompanied by Fur Gelzen Sherpa and Ang Pemba Sherpa from The Sherpa Society.
