There's a new dispatch from the Sandy Irvine expedition at everestnews - check link to the right. Who is TjW?

I have been following the Mallory and Irvine story on ENews. Apparently some folks think they have figured out where SI is. After the 2001 IMG Search for SI and the camera, Eric and Jochen (I think) flew to Beijing to interview a Chinese climber who recalled seeing another dead person in the vicinity of where GM was found (but he was facing up, lying in a gully of some sort). There are some folks who seem to have put a lot of effort into analyzing the terrain and have located an area that seems likely to be the site but was not searched by the IMG team. I think this is what ENews is going after. IMG has a team going to the North col led by Jake Norton but there is no mention of plans to search. So I guess we will have to wait and see.
This is the most cohesive thing I've read about the search for Sandy Irvine. At everestnews, they have a whole site dedicated to the expedition but really say nothing about actual expedition.
