- EBC with the stars (Jonathan Schrock)
Jonathan and Jangbu checked in this morning to let us know the snow stopped falling and all is well at EBC and Camp 2. Down at EBC, the team has been sitting tight. Just as the forecast predicted, the mountain received a good amount of snow and then the sun came out and allowed us to dig out! Up at Camp 2, the reports were of snow and strong winds. Our Team worked hard to secure camp during the storm, and wanted to let us know our Camp held up well and we did not lose any tents.
Phunuru with Nima Doma and Pasang Kanchi (Ang Jangbu Sherpa)
Tomorrow, we will start climbing again, with four Sherpa heading up to Camp 2 and six Sherpa carrying to Camp 1 and setting up tents there. Also up early will be Team 2 for a pre-dawn start on their Dry Run into the Icefall. Back at EBC, IMG Senior Guide Phunuru Sherpa along with Nima Doma and Pasang Kanchi also decided to show off their new down suits for this season. Looking good everyone!
All is well on Mount Everest!
