  2. Cathy, I have been scared crazy for you; you’re in my thoughts. I’d been away from headlines for a couple of days and I also go long periods without checking the blog and when I read about the tragedy and became more aware of what exactly was going on over there, I immediately went here and said to myself and God, ‘oh, please, don’t have Cathy’s husband be over there right now,” then my heart sunk when I read about Camp 1 & 2, etc. I couldn’t pull up the audio but I can see from the comments that Alan is okay and I’m shedding some happier tears for you both. They’ll get them out of there; just hang on, dear. Alan’s smart; he’s experienced; he’s got a level head. From your old friend in SoCal…

  3. Alan,

    Happy to see you and Jim are safe. Please be careful and prayers for all who are dealing with this horrible situation. Blessings.

  5. What a relief it is to hear that you are safe. Unfortunately, this is another disaster with many lives lost. My heart goes out to all the families who have lost loved ones. Those who are missing, I hope they turn up safe and sound. This is a horrible tragedy.

  10. Alan, as soon as I heard about the earthquake I made a beeline for your website to make sure you were ok. Thank goodness you are. My deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who were lost in base camp and prayers for a quick recovery for those who were injured.

  12. Brings many tears to my eyes, but so glad that you, Garrett, my old friends at AAI, and those I know are safe. So sad for those who are not and for their loved ones. We are searching info from many sources now and will continue to follow major team updates so thanks for that advice Alan. So glad you are safe. What a devastation once again for all that is Everest and beyond…

  13. Nice to see you keeping safe – hope and pray the rest of the teams are doing the same. May the mountain gods bless all of you.

  16. So great to hear you are doing ok! So sad to hear and see all the people suffering. Be careful coming down with the team. I hope you can wait out a few days, with enough food and fuel.

  18. Alan, I am so very happy you are safe, my deepest thoughts are for your safety and for those at base camp. Take great care and stay strong.

  19. Interactive realtime world earthquake map @ quakes.globalincidentmap.com/#
    Move map to the left to Asia. Click ‘plus’ sign, on the scale, to zoom in to Nepal. Click on sphere for data, or scroll down to see chart with text listings of earthquake data.

  20. Informative interactive realtime world earthquake map. Spheres represent individual earthquakes/aftershocks, positioned on each individual epicenter location. Move map to the left until locate Asia, then click plus sign on the scale, on the left, to zoom in to Nepal area. Click on a sphere for data of magnitude, depth, time, etc. Note that the time is UTC, which I believe is about 6 hrs earlier than Nepal time. Also, scroll down to see a chart with a text listing of earthquake data.

  40. Thank you very much for your dispatches and it is great you are safe and want you and all other climbers and Sherpas are safe and get all success and return safe .

    I always enjoy your dispatches it take me to the Mount Everest .
    Best Wishes .

  43. Alan, your dispatches are much appreciated, all over the world. I follow them from my home in Bali, Indonesia. I’m thinking now of my sister Emily Johnston, who is an IMG guide (and medical doctor) on their Everest team. She would have been at EBC or C1 at the time of the quakes. No news yet. If you get any news of Em and IMG teams, pls let me know.

  44. Wow if there is not enough things to worry about and then this?Good to see you and your ok/Have a great climb/

  47. Alan, Glad to hear you are safe, thanks for the update and my prayers for safety go out for you and all the other climbers, staff and people in the area.
    Namaste, Jeff
