I wanted to take a minute to summarize where we ended up on the spring Cho Oyu climb: We waited as long as we could for confirmation from the Chinese that the Cho Oyu permit and visa would be available, but were unable to get this nailed down, so we decided to offer Lhotse to our Cho Oyu climbers and trekkers. Of the 9 climbers on the spring Cho Oyu team, six will go to Lhotse, the others opted to try for Cho Oyu in the autumn, when we expect it to be re-opened! The trekkers will come to Everest Base Camp (it is also the BC for Lhotse) and then they will return via the Gokyo Trek over Cho La pass\u00e2\u20ac\u201da very nice loop trek that goes right next to the Nepal side of Cho Oyu.<\/p>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll look forward to welcoming IMG Leader Greg Vernovage and the Lhotse team to Base Camp! Tye will be working with the team to update the IMG Blog and also the Newsletters for family and friends.

THANKS!!<\/p>\n
