Mallory and Irvine The Final Chapter Everest 2005: Others here to search again this year?

We are being told others are here to search for Mallory and Irvine  artifacts again in 2005. This is, of course, not surprising nor is it surprising that there is no press on them. Many of these searchers have been back numerous times. We do not know at this point if this is some of our old friends or a new group.

Well the heavy snow is over according to our forecaster who called every detail of the last several days. Great Job!

Other climbers were up there in the heavy snow reporting 3 or more feet of new snow up on the Col on the 6th. Some report they were caught in small avalanches. Some climbers were still up high this morning. The mountain is loaded with snow.

The weather is now going to get "good", but the wind will pick up. We hope the wind will blow the snow off up high, so Everest might reveal some secrets. We will see. It is now a needle in a haystack hunt.

With our kindest regards and thanks, The Staff at EverestNews.com

We return to Mount Everest in search of an answer.
