Everyone has checked in from the Khumbu Valley and are doing well. IMG assistant guide Cedric Gamble reports that the downhill team had a great day on the trail today and are tucked into Namche for the night. Tomorrow they will finish off the trek into Lukla.

IMG guide Craig John and some of the climbers stayed back at Lobuche Base Camp to take another try at the summit. However, additional snowfall has now shut down their second attempt. They gave it a good shot and have now decided to move on, and take in the landscape in another part of the Khumbu on their descent. They will evaluate the trail conditions and make a decision on what freshly coated area of the valley to visit for the next few days as they make their way back towards Lukla.
