Hi Everyone,
Well, a lot of snow on Everest these days suggesting that any searches planned for SI or the camera are either over or are not to be this year.
Summit pushes still on however, with an increasing list of dead or missing. Some references made to climbers "who don't even know how to put on crampons" - thought we had heard the last of that one but I guess not. Up until about a week ago I thought we might have a good year with no deaths. (sigh).
The Russian North face crew is still at it, although they seem to be a very seasoned team. Hopefully they will make it to the top and back down again safely.
Best regards,
Rose
