IMG Cho Oyu Expedition Autumn 2002
Update #6 September 12, 2002
Ben Marshall reports that all is well and that everyone is healthy and
doing fine. On the 10th the guided group and the North Face group
headed up to Camp 1, spent the night, climbed partway to Camp 2 the
next day, and then descended to ABC. On the 11th the non guided
climbers headed to Camp 1 to do the same thing. Today they climbed up
towards Camp 2 for acclimatization, and now are on their way back down
to ABC for some R and R. The climbers will all take a couple days
rest, then head back up to Camp 1 and Camp 2 for further
acclimatization. The trekkers are now on their way back to Kathmandu
after going to Everest Base Camp and Rongbuk Monastery. Also heading
back to Kathmandu is David Pierce Jones, who decided to go home
early.
That is the latest from Cho Oyu!
