Mt. Everest Expedition: Team Almost to Basecamp
Posted by: Dave Hahn, Melissa Arnot, Mark Tucker | May 27, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
Update 2:45 pm Nepali time:
Dave Hahn, Melissa Arnot and team are 20 minutes from camp, so they are safely through the Khumbu Icefall!
I will still keep track of the Sherpa team that is still higher up on the mountain. They need to go back up to Camp 1 either tomorrow or the next day for final loads off the mountain. Until everyone is clear of the upper mountain, I will be here in communication with the Sherpa team. What a Climb!

Mark,
Thanks so much for all the updates and a hearty congrats to you, Dave, Melissa, and your team! You may not remember, Mark, but my wife and I met you on Everest 2010 and most recently coming down the Mweka Route on all of our last day on Kili last August. We enjoyed chatting with you.
Best,
Brandon & Kristine Chalk
