Weather map May 1 2023
It’s the time of the season that everyone starts to pay close attention to the weather reports! Our custom weather forecaster says that the jet stream is moving across the Himalayas, with winds currently over 100 knots at the summit of Everest. Ang Jangbu reports from Everest BC that most of the IMG climbers have descended down to Pangboche for a few days of rest at lower altitude. Up on Everest, we’ve heard that some teams lost their big tents at Camp 2. Our sherpas at Camp 2 have kept our camp from blowing away, thanks to their hard work! Down at Ama Dablam, Porter McMichael says the team had a smooth trip up to Camp 1 today, and that they are tucked in, protected from the wind and doing well, but that up higher it is blasting. Hopefully it will start diminishing tomorrow!
