IMG Everest Expedition Dispatch #11 April 16, 2008



IMG Leaders Mark Tucker and Ang Jangbu report that the Icefall route is now open. Tomorrow morning 28 IMG sherpas will carry to Camp 1 and Camp 2.

The IMG climbers will start up the following morning, the idea being to give the sherpas a chance to get the camps established first.

With our big strong sherpa team, we expect to have Camp 1 and 2 established in only a few days.
