Charlie Reporting from Namche April 16…
I'm
back in Namche with the Khumbu Icefall team, Chris
Smith and Derek Dean. Derek and I climbed to camp
1 on April 12, then climb to camp 2 and return
back to camp 1 for the night (April 13). Chris
went part way before returning to base camp.
Then
Hector, Matthew and Julio on the Everest team
climbed through the icefall and to camp 1. They
spent a night at camp one and continued to the
Western Cwm reaching camp #2 on the next day. Andy
came up the following day to reach camp 2. From
there we were fortunate to have a spectacular view
of Lhotse, the South Col and the top of Everest.
April 16th we returned to base camp to rest. In a
few days the team plans to climb to camp 2 and
spend the night. The team will then climb towards
camp 3 and return back to camp 2 for another
night.
Everyone
is strong & having a great time!
More
to come…
