DCXP dispatches

Moe is heading up, Jamie is about to, and Paul and Namgyal will come up tomorrow

28 May - the second summit push begins

Moe left for North Col this morning at 11am, I (Jamie) will leave after posting this. We plan to spend two nights up there then move to 7700m, 8000m, and the summit.

Currently Duncan and Julian are at the North Col relaxing, tomorrow they will head up to 7900m, the summit on the 30th, probably.

Sukhi and Da'Oangchu are climbing to the 7700m camp; Dawa has already reached it and is pitching the tent. So we are progressing.

Thanks, everyone, for the support! We will be taking as much care as possible, and have plenty of oxygen and backup. We will be careful.
