| Current Nepal Time Report 4/27/2003: Another phone call from Frits. Unfortunately, Norbert Joos' laptop seems to be really broken, so there won't be anymore written updates from Frits I'm afraid.... The International team are all happy and in good health, and taking 2-3 days rest in Base Camp. They have established camp1 at 6200 meters and have made a cache at 6800 meters, below camp 2. Norbert Joos' team have been instrumental in fixing the route up to camp 2 (at 7160 meters) and they (or at least Norbert) have slept at C2. No one has climbed higher yet on the mountain so far. Frits did not report on Carlos' team, but I assume they are OK as well. Nor did he say anything about Andrew Lock and his friend. Alan Hinkes still has not arrived in BC. The weather is getting warmer, but there is still a little snowfall in the afternoons. However, the slopes seem avalanche safe. The do not expect to make a summit bid before May 15. That's it for now!
