Headed to Na.

First phone call from Alan since he left Kathmandu.  The sat phone was much more clear, and expensive, than the google app we were using in the city.  Alan sounded GREAT: happy, energized and rested.  He said that they will stop in a village tomorrow and do some ice climbing for one day.  They then will have one more day of hiking to get to the extraordinarily remote village of Na where they will depart from their sherpas and acclimatize and hopefully do some more ice climbing.  Their adventure will really be much more real on their own and be much heavier!  Alan plans to call again the morning of our 6th.
