1st May – Welcome to May!

As predicted, we are seeing the windy weather forecasts manifest. The jet stream is battering the summit with hurricane-force winds. Thankfully, it is much calmer with moderate winds in the Western CWM, where our Western Guided team and 40-day Speed climbers are snuggled and comfy at Camp 2. The wind is due to die off late tomorrow, which is the perfect timing for the team at Camp 2 to make a foray up the Lhotse face to Camp 3.

Our 1:1 Private climbers (Marc B, Randall & Yinghong) who went up yesterday are sleeping at Camp 1 tonight and plan to move to Camp 2 tomorrow.

Jesse, our 30-Day Speed Ascender, and guide Tomi were slightly delayed and will head to Camp 1 in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Everyone else is resting at Everest Base Camp with plans to take to the upper mountain again around May 3rd. 

All is on schedule on Everest.

Cheers,
CTSS Team
