IMG Everest Expedition  Dispatch #22 May 14, 2008 



IMG Leaders Tucker and Jangbu report that the big build-up at the South Col continues, with 19 Sherpas successfully making the Big Carry today.  There is getting to be a good supply of oxygen and gear up there now, with more on the way!  Over the next few days we hope to complete the stocking of Camp 3 and Camp 4 in preparation of the summit bids.  

For tomorrow, we have 14 Sherpas heading back to the Col and 9 going to Camp 3.  Hahn and Nicky are now at C2, heading for C3 tomorrow.  All the IMG climbers are now back to BC, with the exception of Casey and crew, who will be back tomorrow from their trip down valley.  We'll keep you posted!
