Ang Jangbu reports that the EOA fixing teams reached the Yellow Band today, so they are making good progress on Lhotse Face. Hopefully they will reach South Col in next couple days. Phunuru and our IMG climbers are doing well at Camp 2, acclimatizing and planning to take a short hike up towards the Lhotse Face tomorrow. We also have a team of sherpas carrying from EBC up to Camp 2 today.
At Everest Base Camp our IMG Liaison Officers Khim Goutam and Suraj Paudyal came up for a visit and to attend a meeting with the various expedition teams called by the Municipality regarding the enforcement of the new rule requiring climbers carry all poop down from the upper mountain. At IMG we have been doing this for many years at Rainier and Denali, so it’s not a big deal for us to comply. We are supportive of the new rules to keep the mountain cleaner.
Down at Ama Dablam, Porter McMichael’s team took an easy day at Mingbo BC, after flying up from Lukla yesterday. Next up for them is an acclimatization lap up to Camps 1 and 2. All’s well in Nepal!
