\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nGood news from Everest Base Camp. Ang Jangbu and Phunuru report that the IMG team is doing well and that the Icefall Doctors have managed to push the route past the bottom of Nuptse.\u00a0 Apparently it is very icy this year in the Icefall (go figure) and there are several big crevasses and ice walls in the lower part of the Western Cwm which made it more difficult than normal to get to Camp 1 and then to get around more obstacles near Nuptse.\u00a0 Above that it is a straight shot up to Camp 2.\u00a0 We have IMG sherpas Sonam Tashi and Nima Sona heading up tomorrow morning to stake out our campsites at Camp 1 and Camp 2.<\/p>\n
Over in the Hinku Valley, IMG leader Porter McMichael reports the team had a nice hike today up to Thagnak (about 14,300 ft), near the head of the Hinku Valley.\u00a0 Tomorrow they will take an acclimatization hike up to see Sabai Tsho, the glacial lake that was hit by an avalanche in 1998 which caused the moraine to break and a huge flood<\/a> to sweep the Hinku Valley.\u00a0 Alls\u2019s well in Nepal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
