IMG Everest Expedition Dispatch #23
May 15, 2008
IMG Leader Ang Jangbu reports: Dave and Nicky are
up at C3 tonight. They plan to go little higher tomorrow morning
before come back down to C2. The Sherpas carried to the Col and C3 as
planned yesterday. Eben and trekkers arrived base camp on schedule and
they are all doing well.Casey and his team came back from Pheriche. Tim
went down the valley with Phinjo for couple nights. We had
a big sirdar meeting at AAI camp this afternoon. We now have 11 sherpas in
the fixing team including 2 from us (I am thinking of sending Danuru
and Dawa but this might change). We also have 22 bottles of oxygen
contribution from other teams and 2200 meters of rope on the Col. Our
plan is to send the fixing team on the Col on 19th and fix above on 20th.
There are several groups shooting for the summit on 21st --includes Kari
Kobler's team, Willie's team, Kenton maybe and some other teams.
Some of our team members might decide to shoot for the 21st as well. We will
have better idea tomorrow. We have 5 sherpas carrying to
the Col tomorrow and rest are coming down to BC from
2.

IMG
Leaders Tucker and Jangbu report that the big build-up at the South Col
continues, with 19 Sherpas successfully making the Big Carry today. There
is getting to be a good supply of oxygen and gear up there now, with more on the
way! Over the next few days we hope to complete the stocking of Camp 3 and
Camp 4 in preparation of the summit bids. For tomorrow, we have 14 Sherpas
heading back to the Col and 9 going to Camp 3. Hahn and Nicky are now at
C2, heading for C3 tomorrow. All the IMG climbers are now back to BC, with
the exception of Casey and crew, who will be back tomorrow from their trip down
valley. We'll keep you posted!
