Many of these companies post days after their summits so its impossible to track them in real-time. <a href=\"https:\/\/share.garmin.com\/DavidSnow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Snow<\/a> with a small team using Seven Summits Treks logistics are also on the move with a GPS<\/p>\n<p>There are still more teams that are targeting the weekend including the three sub teams of IMG totaling over 20 members plus the ones I mentioned may be going up tonight.<\/p>\n<h3>Tibet<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/TranscendAdventures\/posts\/?ref=page_internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transcend<\/a> should be sending their third team up tonight or it might be tomorrow.

You can follow Patrick on his <a href=\"https:\/\/share.garmin.com\/PEMEverest2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GPS tracker<\/a>.
