Several more members of the IMG team have made the summit and are heading back down... I heard from Eric that Bob is back at BC. As soon as I get an update I will let you know.

IMG Leader Mark Tucker reports on the sat
phone that Justin, Dean, Jaroslaw, and the Sherpas have just called down on the
radio and they are on the South Summit (about 5:30am Nepal time). The
weather is clear and a little breezy. They are all together and will be

IMG Leader Mark Tucker reports on the sat phone that
Justin, Dean, and Jaroslaw left the Col at 9:18pm. Climbing with them are
Mingma Tenzing, Tshewang Lhendu, and Pasang Nuru. It sounds like there was
some snowfall this afternoon, but now the clouds have dropped, and the wind is
calm. Sounds like a nice night to go climbing!! We'll keep our
fingers crossed and not expect to hear from them until they get up by the
Balcony.
