Alpine Ascents Team Everest Update

Our whole team is in base camp and enjoying sunny days!

Today our Team Everest split into several groups to accomplish various activities. Guide Ben Jones took a group of climbers to Pumori base camp.  Garrett Madison and a few climbers climbed up in the Khumbu Icefall to the "football field" approximately half way to Camp 1 and returned to base camp.   A few other climbers stayed in camp and rested.  Everyone is doing well and we are preparing to head up in a few days on our second "rotation" to Camps 1, 2, & 3.

The route is currently now fixed up to our Camp 3 and in a few days the fixing should be completed to the South Col and up Lhotse.  We are very excited for this progress.

All of our climbers and sherpas are very happy to be climbing together and we are in very good spirits in base camp.  We have a very positive and strong relationship with our sherpa team and will continue to promote our solidarity as a team working together through mutual respect for one another.
