Mt. Everest Expedition: Dave Hahn Checks in From Base Camp
Hello this is Dave Hahn with RMI's Everest Expeditions calling in. I promise I wrote a nice dispatch but lost connectivity before sending it to you, so we'll have to do a voice dispatch. It's all good here. It's snowing lightly, it's been snowing since about mid-day but just lightly. We are still holding on to the hope that the Sherpas and one or two of the guides might get up in the morning for a scouting trip through the Ice Fall. Of course that is weather dependent as always. Today the team went over their gear, trying to streamline their systems for climbing fixed ropes. They checked out their down suits trying to get a little bit more familiar with that gear. Our Sherpa team did the same. Fairly quiet day, nobody else is going through the Ice Fall either a few people nibble at the base of the route today just stretching their legs and working their technique.

HW: You all look great - still manage to still look athletic in those fluffy down suits. Did you get to practice using the convenient unique feature built into the backside ;-)? All is well here. Wish you get a break in the weather. -FX

Chhering still looks like a fashion model in the down suit:-)). I recognize the 2 outside climbers and I think maybe that is HP in the middle with the red boots on. Hope the weather is suitable in the a.m. for your adventure to the ice fall. Thinking of you all. Will send private message to Pierre….
