Monday morning, the 6th May

Hello from the Himalayas. A quick update for you all as you round out your weekends and kick into a new week.

Things continue to be smooth on Everest. Back at Base Camp the Western Guided Team and 1:1 Private climbers Marc, Randall, Blake, and Yinghong are resting and recovering well.

Climbing up the Lhotse Face today we have Pascale and our Personal Sherpa team Aga & Darragh. There was some light snowfall yesterday afternoon, that will aid them today. Their goal is to tag Camp 3, return to Camp 2 for tonight and drop back to Everest Base Camp tomorrow.

We really appreciate how well this team is working and climbing together as they round out their final acclimatization round and turn their focus to the summit in coming weeks.

The route is now open to Camp 4 and the Sherpa team is hard at work staging the mountain. There is stable weather now and in the forecast, which all bode well for the rope fixing team to head to the summit soon.

Finally – a hearty farewell to our Camp 3 climber Andrea who is in Kathmandu with guide Robert – safe travels as you make your way home and congratulations!
