IMG Everest Expedition Dispatch #5
April 4, 2008
After two nights in Deboche (about 12,000'), two nights in Dingboche (about
14,000'), the group has now arrived in Lobuche (about 16,000') where
they will also take two nights. These are important camps, with good
opportunity for taking some nice acclimatization hikes during
the free days. We want everyone to get to Base Camp feeling
good! Yesterday the last 40 loads were flown from Kathmandu to Shyangboche
by helicopter and are now on the way to Base Camp by
yaks. The HRA medical clinic is now established at Base Camp and
the Icefall doctors (sherpas) have now set the first 9 ladders on the route to
Camp 1. This is good news, it sounds like the route work in the
Icefall is now moving forward.
We'll keep you
posted!
