More Lhotse Summits

Another great morning of weather today on Everest/Lhotse and another exciting record with Gabby Kanizay topping out on Everest yesterday (14th May) and Lhotse today (15th May) with Tendi Sherpa at 5:30am, invariably making her the Youngest Australian to Climb Everest & the Youngest Australian to Climb Lhotse at just 18.

She is so strong and descending now toward Camp 2 to rejoin her mum Jane who also summited Everest yesterday and is also dropping back to Camp 2 along with Jessica Hepburn and Guide Kami. Tomorrow they will return to Base Camp to celebrate their incredible success.

Meanwhile Manal R and Guide Anup are above the Yellow Band and moving well towards the South Col, where they will rest and reenergise ahead of their summit bid tonight. Weather looking great!

All is well on Everest/Lhotse.

Cheers
