Team Everest Update

Today our Team Everest enjoyed base camp and spent a few hours ice
climbing on the lower Khumbu glacier. Conditions were fabulous and
made for solid ice tool and crampon placements. Other members relaxed
and enjoyed our base camp. We are preparing to split into two groups
tomorrow.

Group 1: Guides Garrett Madison and Lakpa Rita Sherpa will take five
climbers up to Camp 1 to spend two nights.

Group 2: Guides Ben Jones and Brien Sheedy will rest tomorrow and then
take seven climbers up to Camp 1 the following day.

Our plan is to move together on May 3rd from Camp 1 to Camp 2 and
climb together from that point onwards. Everyone is doing well and we
look forward to our second "rotation" on Everest!

Garrett Madison, Expedition Leader
