IMG Dispatch # 30 +UPDATE

Update - It was in fact Bob P who made it up to 28,700 yesterday. Bob L and Scott have made it back down to C2 - we're assuming they will be heading back up as part of another summit team. Stay tuned!

Dispatch #30 UPDATE
May 20, 2008

My
mistake--I neglected to include Chip and Jamling with the climbers who went from
C3 to C4 today. They are all up at the Col now doing fine. Sorry for
the confusion!


The summary for the team tomorrow should
be:

Also making good time are the IMG climbers moving up to C4
today from C3--they are already there (10:15am). This will give them
plenty of time to rest today before the summit bid tonight. Vance is climbing
with Pemba Dorje, Chip with Jamling, Adam climbing with Ang Namgya, Joe climbing
with Mingma Tshering, Kurt with oxygen carriers Kancha Nuru and Gyalzen Dorje
and we have Datenji and Ang Karma staying on the Col to support them.
