Hello everyone,

Great news! Our first wave of climbers (including the IFMGA Sherpa team, Private IFMGA Sherpa climbers & Personal Sherpa climbers as well as Private Team Fahad and Guide Ossy) are at the South Col (Camp 4 at 7,906m | 25,938 ft) resting up having made their way up from Camp 3 today.

They’ll catch a very well-deserved nap on oxygen and fuel up with a hearty hot meal. If the winds are on our side they will commence their summit bid later this evening, climbing through the night with the goal of summiting tomorrow morning (their time). We’ll keep you updated as to whether they head out for the summit or hold at the South Col if winds look high in a few hours.

Mariam our Everest/Lhotse combo climber has moved up from Camp 2 to Camp 3 today, our Western Guided team came up from Camp 1 and are all now resting at Camp 2 along with Speed Ascent Private Climber Ed with Guide Tendi. Tomorrow, the plan is for them to move up the Lhotse face to Camp 3.

Exciting times,

Cheers
Caroline
