First Summit of 2010 from South Side

May 6, 2010

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Everest

Elevation: 21,300 ft.

This is Seth checking in from Advanced Base Camp (Camp Two/ABC). Today and tomorrow the teams will start their third and final rotation for acclimatization. If all goes well with the weather, tomorrow all teams will be at ABC getting ready for a climb up to Camp Three with hopes of spending one night there. We have been receiving several inches of snow over the past three days and conditions on the upper mountain have improved, infact today marks the first summit of 2010 from the South Side of Mount Everest! Nine people on top from three different teams.
