Great news this morning from EBC as Ang Jangbu reported that our final Sherpa have now descended the Khumbu Icefall with the remaining loads from Camp 2.  The last 2021 trip through the Icefall is now finished!  The timing is good, because deteriorating weather and snowfall are now making the conditions more challenging up on the mountain.  The IMG climbers are all heading for Kathmandu and our BC team will now be concentrating on getting everything packed and put away for the season.
