IMG Everest Expedition Dispatch #12

2008

IMG Leaders Mark Tucker and Ang Jangbu report that the
IMG team has had several successful days of movement on the mountain.
After all the uncertainty of the last weeks, it is great to finally strap on the
crampons and climb! IMG sherpas have established Camp 1 (about 19,000 feet
above the top of the Icefall) and 14 team members have now moved up to Camp
1 to acclimatize for a few days. IMG sherpas have also been to Camp 2
(21,000 feet) to claim a site there, and we expect work to begin in ernest on
this camp in the next couple days.
