Leader Mark Tucker reports that all is well at Base Camp, and that the entire
team is now there. The members had their puja today and after that, the
EBC Trekkers started back down the valley, planning on taking four days to hike
to Lukla. The Icefall sherpas have been making good progress and we expect
the Icefall route to be finished in the next few days. The team members
are spending the next couple days making preparations to begin climbing.
This is a great chance for everyone to do some further acclimatization,
before starting to climb the Icefall on the first C1/C2
acclimatization rotations. We'll keep you posted!
