IMG Guide Tye Chapman and the 3 x 3 team members are moving down valley today. They have enjoyed Phortse and are now moving to even thicker air! Their plan was to stop in Namche for lunch and souvenir shopping and then head on down to Monjo. This small village on the trail is where the Sagarmatha Park gate is located. The Team will hang in Monjo for the night and finish off the trek, back in Lukla tomorrow. Hot showers in Kathmandu are getting closer!
Ama Dablam Base Camp (Mark Allen)
Over on Ama Dablam, we were saddened to hear that there was an ice avalanche above Camp 3 that hit several climbers on another team. All of the IMG Ama Dablam team members are at Base Camp and resting today as they make decisions and plan for their summit rotation. We’ll let you know what they decide to do.
