All IMG Everest climbers back and safe at camp 4 !!  NEWSFLASH about 9:40 pm in Nepal: IMG Mount Everest 2004

Update: Mark Tucker reports that Kevin is back at the Col and everyone is OK.  They are all eating and brewing up after a long hard day.  The plan is for all of them to get some rest and then to descend in the morning.   Right now the IMG "second wave"  team of Mike, Will, Brad, and Swee are all at Camp 3 doing well, and will be moving up in the morning along with their Sherpa team.   Eric Simonson IMG Expeditions

Mark Tucker: Mark Tucker has been guiding since 1985, with Mt. Rainier as the starting point. Since then, he has climbed and guided classic peaks on seven continents, with the summit of Mt. Everest as his high point. Mark's extensive experience in South America, Africa and the Himalayas, combined with his lengthy career guiding on Rainier and Denali in the US, makes him a super member of our IMG team.

When not in the hills, he leads a fun-filled Other Life. Passions by land include mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, motorcycle riding, and gardening (he's still working on the golf game.) By water, he enjoys surfing, kayaking, wind surfing , scuba diving , water skiing, and fishing, and by air, hang gliding.
