(From the Summit Climb website)
Today we got the official news the Chinese summited! That means all our restrictions to climb Everest and Lhotse are gone!
Tomorrow Ken, UK John, Irish John, Jo, Harris, Linda and Sofie will go to Camp 2 to join Matt, Berry and the Mallory family, who are already on the way to C2. Camp 3 will be fixed on the 9th and our tents will probably be in place on the 10th or 11th.
Everybody is very happy to start climbing again and spirits are very high.
On the 10th, Laura, Eric, Christian, Michael, Andrew, the Polish couple, Arnold and Maya will go up to C2. This way we have enough tent space in C3 and everybody will have a good night there.
Most members will come down after sleeping In C3 at 7,200 metres/23,600 ft to have their final rest in basecamp before pushing to the summit.
So everybody is fine and we are all excited to start the final stage of our expedition! Cheers, Arnold.

Hello Dan and Family; Barbara and I wish you every good fortune in your attempt on Everest. I never had a good head for heights. Just rivers and rapids. So I take my hat off to you. You are the second group that I have known personally. When I was a kid in England I met General Norton who was on the Mallory and Irving Expedition. Take care of yourselves and come back safely.
George Drought and Barbara Burton
