Dispatch 43 Part 1: IMG Team Summits, Puts 11 People on Top

Hey, this is Dave Hahn calling from Mount Everest. I'm at Camp III tonight, 24,000 feet on the Lhotse face. It's been another real exciting day to day. I woke up about five at Camp II by ten minutes after five we were hearing that other part s of our team were on the summit of Mount Everest. Justin Merle got up there about 10 minutes after five in the morning, we hear he was at the Balcony at 27,500 at 12 30, half hour past midnight. But he wasn't alone, we put 11 people on the summit today. Five members, Justin, JF and our European trio, Walter, Marcus and Karl, and six sherpa supporting them. A number of guys were on their first time to the summit, and they did great, they were all down good and early . . . . . (satellite transmission fails).
