IMG second team at the balcony on Everest : IMG Mount Everest 2004

Update: Mark Tucker reports from Base Camp at about 3:00am (Nepal time) to let us know that the IMG team reached the Balcony but that Swee (climbing without oxygen-he has already summitted before with oxygen) has decided go down and would be joined by Mingma Ongel for the descent.  About 3:45am Mark called again to say that Mike and Phinjo are continuing up but that the rest of the IMG team have also decided to head back down.  We'll keep you posted!
