Currently our route fixing team is working on putting in the fixed ropes from the base of the Lhotse Face up to Camp 3. However, today they encountered a set back when they encountered a long horizontal crevasse just below the lower Camp 3. Hopefully tomorrow they will find a way around it. If not, they will most likely have to use the direct route from the base of the Lhotse Face up to Camp 3, which last year was exposed to significant rock fall, but this year should be better protected given the snow above in place to catch any falling rocks from Lhotse.
