Dispatch Two: Chinese SOHU Expedition arrives at Everest Base Camp

Mr. Wang Yongfeng, leader of Chinese SOHU Expedition, lead some climbers to in Everest North Side Base Camp in the morning April 4th, and returned to Dingri County in the afternoon. Mr. Wang Yongfeng told us that Chinese Base Camp had been built, and run effectively, where five washrooms which benefit Environmental Protection were fixed and tested. Other team members went for an acclimatization hike up the famous XieGeer monastery.

There were not only many expeditions all over the world in Everest Base Camp, but also some peddlers who opened a business formally and sold all kinds of goods. In short, Everest Base Camp was active and all people were busy now.

According to what he told us, New Zealand [more about this soon] had more than 70 persons, because they would honor the 50th anniversary of Hillary and Tensing’s first ascent of Mount Everest by broadcasting their mountaineering activities live.

In the evening, Mr. Wang announced that all members who did acclimatization training in Dingri County would go into Everest Base Camp in April 6th, other than a journalist from an illustrated periodical who went back because he got a cold, leading to a lung edema.
