Mera Peak from above Khare (Eric Simonson)
IMG leader Phunuru Sherpa reports that the team is doing well in Khare (15,000 ft) where they are now spending their second night. Yesterday they climbed to 17,000 feet and did some practice with their crampons. The plan for tomorrow, if the weather cooperates, is to move up to the Mera La (pass) and then continue higher to the High Camp. With any luck, the following day will be their summit day. We’ll keep you posted!
