The Flood Gates are open: Summits everywhere but bad weather to move in soon

Fernando Gonzalez-Rubio reported first and also reported the Italians and more Spanish. We are told that the four Italian climbers are from Cortina d'Ampezzo (the "Scoiattoli"), but that is not confirmed. Mario Dibona, Renato Sottsass, Marco Da Pozzo and Renzo Benedetti, together with the Nepalese Thilen Sherpa and Mingma Sherpa!!!

Thilen Sherpa and Mingma Sherpa are cousins of Lakpa Sherpa.
