IMG Mount Everest
Expedition 2003 | ||||||
 | ||||||
| Dispatch Ten: Friday, April 25, 2003: IMG team doctor Diedre Galbraith phoned in from Everest Nepal Base Camp this morning. She is holding down the Base Camp fort right now and noted the relative quiet there these days, with so many of the climbers up in the Western Cwm. The internet cafe is only a few yards away, however, and is providing a community gathering place for those in Base Camp wanting some social contact.
The entire IMG climbing team spent the last 2 nights sleeping at Camp 1. They will move up to Camp 2 today for another couple of nights there, with a possible foray up to Camp 3. Sherpas from the IMG team and other teams successfully reached the South Col yesterday, reaching another important milestone in building up the logistics platform. With the route to the Col now in, climbers can begin carrying necessary supplies of O2 and gear in preparation for summit bids when the teams are ready and the weather gods say "Go!"
