Ang Jangbu reports good news: Ang Passang called just now to inform that everyone is safely down at base camp. Ang Passang and Panuru managed to clear all camps and brought everything down today–they had 3 yaks meet them at the Yak camp below Camp 1. The plan is to pack up base camp in the morning and head down to Pangboche after lunch tomorrow the 10th. Members will then trek to Namche on the 11th and Lukla on the 12th, then fly from Lukla to Kathmandu on the 13th.
