Dispatch 35: Snowstorm at Base Camp, Cho Oyu and Lhotse Climbed

Hey, this is Dave at Base Camp, IMG base camp on Everest. And let's see today--another snow storm! It started snowing about noon today. We had a bunch of our team come down from Camp II to base camp today, about 10 of our guys, a few more of our guys up are at Camp III to spend the night and few more hanging in at II. I'm most likely going up in the morning. We have a forecast that says we might be dealing with a snowstorm this week, and if so I think it's in my best interest to be up at advance base camp for that snowstorm, get some time in acclimatizing. Can't afford to be stuck down here and not get that time sleeping up high. So I'll probably get up at about 4 in the morning and head up a little higher. Otherwise today, not too much going on for us, we did hear folks summitted Cho Oyu, the IMG team over on Cho Oyu got to the top. And we heard cheering from the Korean camp, sounded like three Sherpas and three Koreans made the top of Lhotse. So the peaks are falling, but so is the snow. I'll give you a call probably from ABC. Bye now.
