Scott Parazynski Everest Update: 14 May 2008 - Back at Base Camp - Update



Keith Cowing 14 May 2008 12:20 am EDT: Just got another call from Scott. Coordinating media issues. The summit window now looks a bit firmer for 22 May. That would put him back at Everest Base Camp on 24 May.

I asked Scott if he had felt the large earthquake that struck China. He said the did not - but that several other folks in Base Camp thought that they might have felt it. However, with avalanches on a daily basis Scott said that it is often hard to tell exactly what one is hearing/feeling.
