Teams are once again on the move from their high camps on the Tibet side and Nepal hoping to summit early Thursday morning 17 May, 2018. After yesterday’s big day with over 140 summits, today should be a bit quieter. Also, hoping for less drama after the failed oxygen systems on the North side.<\/p>\n
After a dramatic evening of oxygen tanks hissing life saving oxygen into the atmosphere at 28,000 feet (link<\/a>), theAlpenglow team made a joint call to end their spring season. Alpenglow posted on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n Teams have decided against making another summit attempt. The enormous effort that it takes to reach 8,500m burns through the body\u2019s reserves. In the climbing community, it is well known that exhaustion breeds accidents, so, in the interest of safety, the team has decided to pack up their climbing boots and call it a season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Again, I want to applaud each member of this team from the guides to the Sherpas to the members and their base camp support plus the other teams on the Hill last night. Well done to all.<\/p>\n 7 Summits Club has 10 people at C3 headed up tonight. They report clear skies and excellent conditions and “only” about 60 people for tonights climb. \u00a0Transcend has another seven along with seven Sherpas. Look for another 20-30 on the Nepal side.<\/p>\n You can see the approximate location of many of the team on my Location Table<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tim Mosedale<\/a> says that “Adam, Rupert and their Sherpas have summited Everest this morning and are currently on their way down to the S Col. and\u00a0Fergus and Adrian following tomorrow with their Sherpas.\u00a0Hoping Rupert will be back at EBC early tomorrow morning to start his journey to the N side for his double attempt.” Note that Rupert Jones-Warner<\/a> plans to summit both sides of Everest in a single season. Last done by David Liano<\/a> in 2013<\/p>\n Transcend<\/a> announced the first summits of Thursday:<\/p>\n At approximately 4:15 a.m., J. Praveen from the Andhra Pradesh State Social Welfare Educational institutions, has reached the summit along with his Sherpa guide and\u00a0G. Raju reached the summit at 4:45 am along with his Sherpa guide. Raju also belongs to the Andhra Pradesh State Social Welfare Residential education institution and\u00a0Prasanna Kumar, Bhanu Surya Prakash belonging to Andhra Pradesh and Vikas of Maharashtra reached the summit at 4:50 a.m<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 7 Summits Club<\/a> had a great nite:<\/p>\n Today on may 17, at 5.30 in Nepal (2.45 in Moscow), the first group of the 7 Peaks Club Expedition, LED by Alexander Abramov, went to the top of Everest. And again Transcend<\/a> from India had another successful day with 7 members and 9 Sherpas. They have been focusing on helping the youth of India to dream big and accomplish those dream using climbing as a tool. I want to thank them for providing the name and villages of the Sherpas and the ages of their members.<\/p>\n Sherpa Guides: Name, village.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Seven Summits Trek<\/a>s posted this :”Francois Cazzanelli and Marizio Cheli both from Italy climbed Everest this morning with Ramesh Gurung and Nima Rima Sherpa.”<\/p>\n Also on the North but with zero detail is from Satori<\/a>; “On May 16, 2018, the Satori Everest North Expedition team reached the summit of Mt. Everest. The team has since descended to camp II and are getting a well deserved nights sleep.<\/strong>”<\/p>\nSummit Pushes Wednesday Night<\/h3>\n
