Adventure Peaks: "The weather overnight at 7800m was Windy together with some snow fall. The weather forecast shows a reasonable summit window for Friday and a chance of precipitation today Thursday together with winds 20-30knts. Other groups have summitted this morning (Thur) or are close to the summit in clear weather and minimal wind, ABC is wind free so it appears the group is in a band of clouds and wind at 7800m."
