IMG guide Mark Allen reports that the climbers successfully reached Camp 2 and they are on track for their summit bid. They said that they did not see the helicopter crash today that has been reported. Apparently the Fishtail Air AS350B3 crashed somewhere on the mountain today, while doing a rescue, but it was nowhere near our team.
Marks says everyone is doing well and they are looking forward to the climb tomorrow. We’ll keep you posted!
