The team is getting more practice while the higher camps are being set up... Everyone is doing well.

IMG Everest Expedition Dispatch #10
April 15, 2008

IMG leaders Tucker and Jangbu report that the Icefall doctors
were back to work in the Icefall yesterday, but took a rest day today, and hope
to finish the route to Camp 1 tomorrow. We now have the green
light from the Nepal Army to start building Camps 1 and 2. The last
few days have been good practice for the team memebers to hone their skills with
the oxygen systems, icefall techniques, ladder crossings, fixed ropes, use of
the stoves, etc. All good stuff to master prior to going up
high. So far everything is going fine with the
team.
