IMG Dispatch # 32, 33, 34

Here is the latest from IMG. Some other members of the team have summited. It appears that Bob L, Scott, and Monty are heading back down to BC from C2. Not sure what the plan is exactly. I have sent a question into IMG - If and when I hear something I will let you know.

Ron: I have posted an update on Scott's Blog at http://www.onorbit.com/node/250

It explains why Scott did not summit. No news on Bob. Double bummer.
