Justin Merle reports that yesterday the climbers successfully descended to Base Camp and the Sherpas brought down the remaining loads. Today the team descended to Pangboche, the home of our longtime IMG sirdar Ang Pasang, Kami, and a number of our IMG Sherpa team. Tomorrow the team will hike to Namche. The Lukla flights were cancelled again today (5 days in a row) so hopefully the weather down lower will clear out soon.
