Terry and Lhakpa Galu Reached Everest

Today is the 22nd of May and the time is 10:20pm local time. Where should I start?

Let me tell you the most important thing. We heard on a radio call today that Terry and Lhakpa Galu Reached Everest at about 9:00am.

And we heard that Bill and Tenji turned around, Bill just 20 meters below the Summit of Everest, because they felt that it was too windy. That was at about 12:45pm.

From our Lhotse Expedition, Bruce is back in Camp 2. Dan and Paul came down from from Camp 4 down to Camp 2, it took about 10 hours today and that was an interesting and exciting travel and some challenge.

On a sad note, we saw the famous Dawa Sherpa leading a group of Sherpas dragging the body of the deceased climber, Miss Pemba Doma Sherpa, who fell off Lhotse yesterday afternoon. That was very horrible and tragic.

Phil is back down in Base Camp. Our plan is to wait here tomorrow for the arrival of the Everest team and we'll keep you posted about further developments.

Thank you very much, bye bye.

GOING TO THE SUMMIT

Today is the 18th of May and it's 7:25pm local time. The four of us on the Lhotse team had a rest day today in Camp 2. Our plan is to move up to Camp 3 tomorrow.

We have three Sherpas supporting us. I spoke with Bill, he's down in Camp 1 with his Sherpa Tenzing. Terry is down in Base Camp with his Sherpa Lakpa Galu. Their plan is to come up to Camp 2 tomorrow and then maybe take a rest day or maybe proceed directly to Camp 3.

We plan to summit on the 21st and the 22nd. We will keep you posted.

Thank you very much, bye bye.
