Everest South Side Expedition: American Commemorative Expedition | |||

Dispatch: Heading Up the Mountain May 15, 2003: I spoke with Bob this morning. He said all eight team members were together at base camp now; everyone is healthy. Three members of the team are going to leave tomorrow (May 16) and the remaining five members the next day (May 17) to begin their way to the top of Everest! They are going to take it slow, giving other teams who are in a big rush a chance to get out of the way. The winds high on the mountain are still pretty bad, but weather reports indicate improved conditions after the 19th. Our team members will get in position and hope to summit around May 21st or 22nd. Dan Smith has familiarized two college students who are in base camp with the team's communications equipment/e-mail setup, and they will be sending out daily updates on the team's progress, so stay tuned! -Sue Hoffman
