 Current Expedition Time

Dispatch Six September 5th: Namaste! This Nancy Norris reporting in at Cho Oyu ABC. Hello EverestNews.com readers !! This morning we arrived at advance base camp at 18,500 feet. We moved up from Interim Camp today, and the trip to the took about 5 hours. Everyone is healthy and good well, and getting more excited !

We have the best guides and the greatest Sherpa climbers on the mountain taking care of us. It is lightly snowing right now. We got about 2 inches last night and it made the walk from Interim Camp today beautiful. I will call in again in the next 2-3 days...
