The news is good from Nepal. The weather was suitable for flying this morning which enabled the 3X3 trek team to get from Lukla back to Kathmandu. The team had a farewell dinner tonight at the Rum Doodle restaurant and signed one of the big yeti feet! Yesterday, some of the Ama Dablam team climbed back up the South Ridge to above Camp 2 to get a better look at the slopes below the Dablam Glacier, where the recent icefall accident took place. The climbers are now down and off the hill, and on their way back home. Phunuru and the Sherpa team report that they are packing up the gear at Base Camp and will be moving it back to our IMG storerooms in Pangboche and Gorak Shep for the spring season.

Thanks for following along with our Autumn 2014 Nepal teams on the IMG Blog, and thanks again to our guides, Sherpas, and team members!
