Update June 1st (early in the day): Ok here is a run down...
Maybe somewhere around 124 climbers left to attempt over the next 5 or 6 days. We
have NO confirmed Summit pushes on the 31st. The
wind was high and there was problems up there, which tends to slow climbers
down... We are still waiting to see if anyone left on the 31st. Martin was
expected to attempt one of these night... Expect movement by most team below
during the day...
First those at high camp
George and Lakpa:
(They don't need last names!) We will see if they go soon... They have the "spider" with them... George is going for
7, Lakpa her 5th!
Seven Summits Club,
better known on the mountain as the Russians: at are at high camp. They had
their Sherpas wait at high camp in case they are needed. But the Sherpas are
now getting some time in there. Did not go last night. Some went down, other
stayed
Mt.
Everest 2005: Martin Minarik: Chess by himself? is at high camp or
higher as we speak..
British Commercial Team: Went from camp 1 all the way to
camp 3 and met the wind!! (Maybe they should have stayed with Brice at camp
1!)
Others at high camp, include several of the Asian trekking
group of independent climbers. No Lakpa is not setting up tents for them and
George is not guiding them (An inside try at a joke!)...
Jose Ignacio jijon
Soares was at camp 2 or 3 if he moved up...
Johann Goger was at camp 2
or 3 if he moved up...
Camp 2:
Mt.
Everest 2005:
Indian Air Force Summits Three on Everest: but they had a
hard go of it. More on that story later.
They have more to attempt, but unsure of
the plan. We were told they have climbers at camp 2 and camp 3.
Indian Army (aka the "girls"):
some men too and a bunch of Sherpas..
Camp 1: The Commercial Boys!
Last but not least!
The other half of the British commercial Team
Brice's commercial team ... minus one
guide... We will let him tell you the story... We do expect a Christmas
card.... get out of the way, here comes the boss!

Expedition: A couple of guys with some Sherpas from Asian Trekking....
They were at camp 1, and planning to head up...
Still going
Mt.

Getting ready to SPEED up the mountain on the 3rd, maybe Brice can clear the
way...
Norwegian Women's Expedition:
Working hard at it... One of them was reported at camp 2, but that is NOT
confirmed.
Headed home with Success
Rosa Maria Fernandez: We might make her
Queen! She showed the boys how to do it and was first up and headed for
home!!

headed own and back home..
