On May 13th the team was preparing to leave base camp. "Jordan has displayed all the patience and maturity in the world. Body and mind is ready," Ed Alta, a team member wrote on Jordan's blog. "We are on a 48-hour countdown. This means leaving Base Camp for the big trek to the foothill, then it's on. All in all, it's a 5-7 day climb. Team is very ready, weather is about to be in our favour."
