Hi everyone,
There seems to be quite a bit of snow on Everest that would seem to hinder any kind of search. There is apparently a storm brewing (literally) that could blow a lot of the snow off (or add more?).
Here is link to a brief story in the ENews M&I search:

Nothing new really. I did hear that in addition to the Irvine family,and the Royal Geographic Society, apparently the Chinese Mountaineering Association are claiming ownership of any artifacts or cameras that might be found if SI really is located. On the otherhand it might seem self evident to some that Graham Hoyland and the Summervell family might have the greater claim, since it was Howard Summervell's camera that everyone is looking for. :-) Then again, there is the old adage "finder's keepers".
Best regards,
Rose
