IMG Mount Everest
Expedition 2003 | ||||||

| Dispatch Four: April 10, 2003: IMG guide Chris Booher has mastered the technology curve and has his laptop talking to the US. He predicts unhappiness on the part of Eric Simonson when he arrives with the second team at BC to find a big expedition "camped up our tails" next door, so it sounds like crowding is already evident. Rongbuk is a huge glacial outwash plain and there is plenty of real estate to work with over there for BC establishment, so maybe the other team just wanted to be friendly? Anyway, the yaks and Sherpas should head up to establish ABC tomorrow and the remainder of the high-altitude team will move up to Interim Camp on the 13th and then to ABC on the 15th. Caisey Harlingten has safely returned to Kathmandu. Meanwhile, Eric and the second team of ABC trekkers and N.Col climbers logged in from Xigatse and will meet the Sherpas in Tingri today, where they will acclimatize for 2 nights before beginning the trek into BC. Simo reports everyone on the second team doing fine so far! Erin Simonson
