Everest-Lhotse Expedition April 23- 25th
Everest-Lhotse Expedition APRIL 25TH
Today is the 25th of April, 7pm, and were just finishing our supper and we're comfortably in our tents up at Camp 2 at 6,400 meters.
Today five of our members went up to the base of the Lhotse Face at about 6,750 meters and we just made a walk up there to get acclimatized and check out the route. The route looks pretty good. Two of our members stayed in Camp 2 and rested today.
Three of our Sherpas went up to Camp 3 at about 7,350 meters and set up one tent and marked off an area with some rope. All of us are going to go up to Camp 3 tomorrow at three in the morning. We're going to climb up to Camp 3 at about 7,300 meters and just check it out, see how it looks and see how we feel up there in the thin air and then come back down here to Camp 2 and spend the night and then early the next morning go back down to Base Camp for some rest period.
I spoke to Mark and his Sherpa Lakpa Chiri. They're down in Base Camp and they weren't able to make Camp 1 today because of poor weather. They are going to try again at 4:30 in the morning to come up to Camp 1 and then work their way up to Camp 2, so hopefully we will be seeing them, too.
Thank you very much,
Bye, bye,

Everest-Lhotse Expedition APRIL 24TH
Today is the 24th of April and it's about 2:00pm local time. I'm calling you from Camp 2 at 6,400 meters.
It's a beautiful sunny afternoon. We walked up here from Camp 1, about a 400 meter walk, some clouds were blowing around during our walk but we were able to find the
trails. It took us a little while to get up here, it seemed like it was a bit difficult. And we're glad to be in the camp now. There are seven of us foreign climbers along with six Sherpas.
I spoke with Mark this morning at 8:00am. We talked on the radio and he's down in Base Camp with his Sherpa Lakpa Chiri. They plan to rest today and then come on up
tomorrow.
Our plan is to work our way up towards Camp 3, maybe tomorrow or the next day depending on how we're feeling. We saw about 10 Sherpas up there today, fixing ropes and putting in tents, so it looks like Camp 3 is well underway. Ok, we'll update you on our progress tomorrow.
Thank you very much

Everest-Lhotse Expedition APRIL 23
Today is April 23, and it is 5:40pm local time. Seven of us are in Camp 1 with four of our Sherpas. One of our members, Mark, is down in Base Camp. He has a cold. He's gonna rest for a day and try to come up again on Wednesday with his Sherpa, Lakpa Chiri. We just spoke to him on the radio and he's about to have his dinner and he's doing alright. We also have two other Sherpas up in Camp 2 preparing the camp.
The 11 of us here in Camp 1 plan to walk to Camp 2 tomorrow and we'll send you another dispatch when we get there.
Bye, bye,
