Evening 3rd May

We enjoyed some nicer weather on Everest today. It was mostly calm and warm for our teams in the Western CWM.

The Western Guided Team successfully forayed up the Lhotse Face today. This route is more challenging than in seasons past as there is very little snow on the face, so the team played it conservatively to avoid any potential rockfall. They are sleeping at Camp 2 tonight and will descend back to Everest Base Camp tomorrow.

Our 1:1 Private climbers, Marc B, Randall E, and Yinghong H are also at Camp 2. They will tag Camp 3 tomorrow, leaving early in the morning while conditions are cold and stable. They will descend and sleep at Camp 2 tomorrow night before returning to Everest Base Camp the next day.

At Camp 1, our 30-Day Speed Ascender, Jesse, Private 1:1 climbers Susan, Riki, Blake, and Pascale, as well as Personal Sherpa climbers Aga and Darragh, are settled in. Tomorrow, they will move up to Camp 2.

At Everest Base Camp, our Personal Sherpa climber Lee and Private Everest and Lhotse climber Rohan have been doing active acclimatization hikes. They plan to head uphill over the next few days.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
