SummitClimb Cho Oyu 2004: Arnold with some British spice...

Arnold and the British report in 9/25/2004 for the the SummitClimb team.

September 25 Dispatch - This is Arnold Coster calling from the Summit Climb Cho Oyu 2004 Expedition. All of our members are doing fine, and here's Neil for a short message, he's one of the members of the team. Neil:" This is Neil Wells from the Summit Climb team, calling with an update from Cho Oyu. Things are progressing well, with half the group having spent at least one night in Camp 2. Mon, Neil, Dan, Ron, Ryan, and Maya Sherpa hope to go up there on Thursday night. Pete and Nawang spent Friday night at Camp 2, with Roland, Caroline, and Jacques at Camp 1. Most of the team will be back in ABC by tonight, spending a few days resting, drinking, eating, and possibly washing before getting ready for a summit attempt next week. Conditions here are very good, and all of us are amazed by our awesome cook Kipa Sherpa's ability to knock up good food from simple ingredients. He even managed Yak Cheese Pizza last night! So at least if we're not climbing, we can all eat well. All for now, bye.
