Oxygen carrySome days ago the sherpas carried loads of oxygen to 7700m and 8300m. See the previous page for a small team summary. 9 May - load carryIt is always wise to pick the best day when carrying loads above North Col, but the sherpas had three carries to do and don't really care too much about the weather...

A sherpa from another team 17 May - Friends on topSange, who worked for the Everest Peace Project last year borrowed Dawa's camera to go to the top. Here is the Buddha statue that Tshering Dorje carried to the summit. [Yesterday we mentioned he summitted three times this season].

Sange and Pasang Lhamu (Lukla) on the summit: 19 May - Koreans up highSome bad news. First the good; one Korean climber summitted this morning, and has descended with the two remaining sherpas, Nima Tenzi and Chewang Palden (both summitted with Project Himalaya last year). The bad news is four Koreans are staying at 8300m tonight for their second night, a silly thing to do, especially as they don't have much oxygen. |
