Dear EverestNews.com readers,

Welcome to the first expedition dispatch for the Summitclimb International Pumori Expedition 2005. For the readers who have family and friends as members on the expedition we hope you will enjoy following their progress. For those of you following the expedition just out of interest or for other reasons, we hope you enjoy the dispatches and will consider joiining us for future expeditions!

Our arrivals for the team for Pumori 2005 so far are,

Mr. Jay Reilly. Australia. Climbing Expedition Leader

Despite what you may be reading in the papers, Nepal is currently calm and peaceful and the people are as friendly as always. We have spent the past few days organising expedition food and supplies, (At last count we had ordered 1200 kilograms of food, with the fresh food yet to be added!) organising our Sherpas and other support staff and putting in the final preparations for the climbing equipment. This is quite a large exercise, for example for this expedition we will be using 3000 metres of rope.

Other members will be joining us in the next few days and we will post their safe arrivals in our next dispatches as they arrive. Thank you for following the expedition!

Philip Ling and all of us at Summitclimb.com
