 Mt. Everest 2007: SummitClimb Tibet Everest 2007: Arnold checks in | ||||||||||

Hello EverestNews.com. This is Arnold, the leader of the SummitClimb Everest-Tibet Expedition. Maya, Richard and me just came down from the Col. So far our whole team except Stein and Walter have spent a couple of days on the Col. Yesterday Richard also finally made it up there. After several unsuccessful attempts, after a long eight hour push, he was able to see the fantastic view and sleep on the Col. Yesterday we also saw the two… climbers coming down from the summit. They made it to the summit without O2, but they used our Camp 2 and the Chinese Camp 3 for their attempt. Coming down from the summit they were so weak that two Sherpas had to help them down and put them on oxygen. The same day the climbers summited, five of Russell’s Sherpas summited fixing rope without any problems. Our members went down or are going down for a big rest in Base Camp and they are all healthy and strong. Only Maya, Phil and me and kitchen staff are in ABC. Walter’s climbing to the Col today to finalize his acclimatization. He will spend the night there with our super Sirdar Jangbu Sherpa, who’s carrying heavy loads to Camp 2 and Camp 3 everyday to make our summit possible. Until the next dispatch, this is it for now. Bye bye.
