Update 4/19/2004: Hello
EverestNews.com, Greetings from Everest Base Camp.
We have an Everest and a
Lhotse expedition. All members have now arrived at base camp, with the
exception of Chris Warner, who is climbing Lhotse and who will be arriving in
about 5 days time. Everyone is fine and getting on well together, although we
are really missing Ian Mackay, who was with us last year and we hoped would be
back again, but he is obviously still getting his breath back.....!
Most members of both climbing
teams have already been up through the icefall to camp 1 and spent a night
there. It snowed whilst we were up there and in the morning we saw some very
spectacular avalanches. They didn't reach us, but the wind from them
did.......
Camp 2 is now established and
the Sherpas are working hard stocking it. The kitchen will be up and running
in 2 days time and so we will all be making our way up there for further
acclimatisation and to enjoy a few days enjoying the splendid vistas of the
Western Cwm.
We will send a further
dispatch when we come back down from camp 2. Hope alls well with you! Best
Wishes, Sue Todd
