 Mt. Everest 2007: SummitClimb Tibet Everest 2007: Arnold reports all is well .. | ||||||||||

Hello EverestNews.com. This is Arnold Coster, the leader of the SummitClimb Everest-Tibet Expedition. I’m calling from ABC at 6,400 meters. Two days ago our Sirdar Jangbu Sherpa did a marvelous job of putting Camp 2 in at 7,800 meters. His first try failed because he got stuck in a snow storm and had to return to the North Col. But the second day he made it and pitched four tents at Camp 2. Also, our other Tibetan climbers are doing a fabulous job supplying all the camps after Jangbu put them in. These guys are amazing. I wish we had like 10 Jangbus on this trip. It’s so amazing the job the Sherpas do. Without Sherpas, our expedition wouldn’t be anything. Also, all of our members are doing fine. Yesterday Martin, Kevin and Richard arrived from ABC. Today Ruan, Mustafa, Tunc, Derek and Walter and Matt are still resting in BC, but they are all coming up pretty soon today at some altitude to get some more red blood cells. After everybody’s slept in Camp 1 on the North Col a couple of days we’re going to try to reach Camp 2. After that everybody will go down for one long rest in Base Camp and after that it’s Summit Time. So, everything is pretty good and everything is going very smoothly in our camp. There’re no problems, Russell Brice is doing a great job fixing rope to Camp 2 and in one or two days he will fix ropes to Camp 3. So everything is fine. I hope to file more of the experiences of our members high on the mountain. Bye bye
