The team has been moving quite quickly over the last hour and the estimated duration of the C4/summit transit has fallen by over two hours during the last hour. This is probably a function of them moving and normalizing out the extended rest they had at the Balcony. Also, they may have had some crowds that slowed them down for a while and now are moving a bit more quickly.
In any event, we have them at 8,560 meters (28,380 feet). In any event, they are only 300 feet below the South Summit and once there, they should be able to see the true summit. That plus I'm sure it's light out now. They are shortly to reach an altitude that only K2 and Everest itself are higher than....
My model is predicting 11:32 on the East coast--less than 3 hours....
