Dispatch 11: May 2, 2003: IMG team leader Dave Hahn phoned in from Nepal Everest Base Camp for a brief update. The entire team has now slept for several nights at ABC (Camp 2) and all had a successful day-climb up to Camp 3 on the Lhotse Face before descending back to Base Camp for some rest. Everyone is feeling OK. On the team's next move up the mountain, they will try to advance their acclimatization a little more by sleeping at Camp 3. The Sherpas have been steadily carrying supplies to the high camp at the South Col, so soon all will be in place for teams to consider the timing of their summit bids. The jet stream is predicted to move in today, and with high winds predicted for this weekend, some team's preparations may be delayed. We'll see how it goes. The team ordered a bunch of fresh food to be delivered to Base Camp, including fruit, vegetables and meat, so their appetites seem to be holding up fine! Magazines and newspapers were also requested to help pass the time while waiting for the green light. Eric Simonson International Mountain Guides
