Sherpas checking over tents in Kathmandu (Ang Jangbu Sherpa)
Ang Jangbu reports that he made it safely back to Kathmandu from the Christmas Kili trip. Now he and his staff are starting to work on prepping gear for Everest. They will be sending food, fuel, tents, oxygen, and other equipment ahead of the climbers in the coming weeks for establishing the Base Camp.
Speaking of Base Camp, for a great view of IMG’s 2012 Everest Base Camp, check out the David Breashears’ Everest Gigapan. If you start at the South Col and scroll straight down to the Khumbu moraine, IMG BC is immediately to the left, with lots of yellow tents. You can even see the IMG banner on the puja alter if you look close!
