IMG Everest Expedition
Dispatch #13
April 22, 2008
IMG Leaders Mark Tucker and Ang Jangbu report most of
the IMG members who went up to Camp 1 for acclimatization overnights have now
returned to Base Camp for a couple well deserved days of R and R. Their
timing is excellent, since when they are ready to go back up, Camp 2 should be
ready to use for the next acclimatization rotation. Today, 25 IMG Sherpas
carried to Camp 2 and another big group will go up tomorrow, so the camp will be
ready to use soon. We have several big double wall "Weatherport" type
tents that take quite a lot of work to get set up, but once the Sherpas have
them ready to go, they make great kitchen/dining facilites at the cold and windy
Camp 2 (about 21,000'). The IMG Gokyo trekkers were visiters to Base Camp
the last couple days, and they have now departed, heading for Lobuche.
We'll keep you posted!
