Hi Everyone,

Just a quick one today to report that everyone is doing well – those in Wave 1 (IFMGA team & IFMGA Private Sherpa, Private teams etc) are doing great. Those who moved straight through to Camp 2 yesterday took a full rest day today while those who stayed at Camp 1 overnight are currently making their way to Camp 2 for the evening where they will rendezvous.

Our Everest/Lhotse climber Mariam started her journey today, leaving camp early this morning and moving up through the ice fall and our second wave being our Western Guided/International team and our Speed Ascent private climber, Ed, are prepping in Base Camp ahead of their upcoming summit bid.

Windy up high today but there does look to be some good summit opportunities on the horizon. We’re watching that forecast like hawks and continually planning and fine-tuning the best strategy to see our team/s on top of the world shortly.

Meanwhile, transported to another world entirely our successful Private summiteer Mark Wilkins is back in Kathmandu enjoying an oxygen overload and a well-deserved celebration and we wish him and Jennifer a safe onward journey home.

Cheers
Caroline
