From high on Lhotse with Everest (Kevin Kayl)
IMG Summits (Phunuru Sherpa)
IMG Expedition Leader Jonathan Schrock and Ang Jangbu Sherpa report that all is well on Mount Everest, and that all our climbers are now at or below Camp 2, with the last members due to be back at EBC in the morning. Some of the climbers made it all the way down yesterday, and we got some great shots from Phunuru and Kevin Kayl from their summits of Everest and Lhotse!

Tomorrow morning we have 22 Sherpa heading up to Camp 2 to complete the tear down of that camp, with the final loads of gear coming down over the next couple days.  All the expedition garbage will be sorted at Base Camp, with the cans, bottles, and oxygen cylinders all heading down valley for recycling, and burnable items going to the incinerator.  We will be looking forward to having our entire team and staff back at EBC soon!
