Dispatch 32: Ben Clark
Everest 2003 8:45 AM CST May 13 Tennessee
9:45 PM Everest Advanced Base
Camp, Tibet
Ben just called and advised
that on the morning of the 14th, he and his group of Sherpa will start a
summit attempt! The plan is to move to the North Col and advance one camp per
day to position for a summit attempt on the 17th or 18th depending on the
weather. On this schedule, they will go to Camp 5 on the 15th, Camp 6 on the
16th and then summit the 17th, weather permitting. They are planning on a
possible 2 day stay at one of the high camps in anticipation of a summit
window over the weekend. Ben is strong, his high camps have been rebuilt since
the storm, and all is ready!
