IMG Mount Everest
Expedition 2003 | ||||||
 | ||||||
| Dispatch 24: Deirdre Galbraith reports that the team is now back down to the South Summit and everyone is doing fine. They spent some time on top waiting for Jake Norton to arrive via the North Ridge with the OLN [Brice] team. It was quite a reunion, since Dave, Ben, and Jake had been together on Everest last year together. We now know the names of the Sherpas who summited with Dave, Ben, Gary, and PJ. They are Ang Passang, Ang Chhiring (Kami), Mingma Chhiring, and Dorje Lama. Ang Passang is our Sirdar (head Sherpa) and along with Kami, has probably been on at least a dozen IMG expeditions over the years on Everest and Cho Oyu. Mingma and Dorje have each been on Everest several times before with our teams, but not Cho Oyu. Dorje summited Everest last year with Phil and Sue Ershler. So far the weather is holding and everything is going smooth. They will call again when they get down to the Balcony. Eric Simonson
