May 21, 09:00hrs (NPT) Lhose update
Kevin Farebrother has turned back due to route conditions that he was not comfortable with. Tashi agrees. They are now just above Camp 3, planning to make it to Camp 2 where they will decide to stay a night or climb down to EBC.
Childem Sherpa one of our two Camp 2 cooks just arrived back at EBC after 2 full months living up there. He's sooooo happy to be at EBC where it's warmer. Kami Sherpa is still up there and will wait for Kevin's decisions before packing up to come down. Now you know why we love these guys so much. What would be do without them?
Tim says the Sherpas just pulled into camp with all our empty oxygen cylinders so he ended the call to help them pack them up.
All the teams human waste and other garbage is weighed, we pay to have it taken down the valley sorted and burned. After it's all accounted for we get our hefty garbage deposit back. Our food supplies are fresh and local so scraps are saved and given to the yaks. Nice and clean when we get through.
Over ... Becky
