Alpine Ascents Everest Teams doing well

Today our Team Everest split into several groups. Two of our climbers
climbed halfway up the Khumbu Icefall route with guide Ben Jones,
while several members hiked to Gorak Shep for lunch and nice views
with Guide Brien Sheedy. Other members relaxed in base camp and
enjoyed the sunshine. We plan to review technical skills tomorrow on
the glacier.

Team Arabs with Altitude had another nice day up at Camp 2 with guides
Michael Horst & Vern Tejas. They are all doing great and feeling well
acclimatized after 3 days at Camp 2.

The route fixing project had a setback today when one of the fixing
sherpa was struck by ice, possibly generated by a climber above, we
believe he is OK. The fixing team of sherpas will take a rest day
tomorrow and resume fixing work the following day weather pending.
