Hey GreatOutdoors, this is Dave again, and I wanted to bring you up to speed on the movements within our team, everybody was moving somewhere today. I came up from Base Camp to ABC in one push, as did Paul, Fiona, and also Dennis and Brenda. Let see, from ABC we had John and Sophia move up to Camp III, and from Camp III moving up to Camp IV putting themselves right in position for a hopeful start on the summit tonight is Justin Merle, and JF is up there and our European trio, Marcos, Karl and Walter. And certainly a lot of Sherpas moving around with everybody, but like I say, everybody was on the move today. Jim and Dan were moving up from their vacation in Pheriche they are at Lobuche tonight. And not too many people in Base Camp on our team, just Ang Jangbu and Mark Tucker calling the shots and trying to coordinate everybody on the radio. Like I was saying the other day, it all get interesting pretty quickly here. Forecasts are holding good for the next few days, then it gets a little iffy or suirrelly, so were all kind of keeping our fingers crossed. Like I say a lot going on, and looking up at the Lhotse face, oh year, at least 50-60 people on it at any given time, moving high. That's what's going on on the South Side of Everest right now, and we'll keep you up to speed with it. Part 3: From Nepal's Ministry of Tourism, here is the official list of IMG summit climbers:
