Looks like the winds have finally dropped.\u00a0Teams for both the\u00a0Nepal and Tibet sides\u00a0report calm\u00a0conditions and summit\u00a0pushes underway.<\/p>\n
There were many summits Tuesday morning May 21. I know of these:<\/p>\n
Dawa Steven Sherpa and the Asian Trekking<\/a> team made the top Tuesday morning:<\/p>\n The Eco Everest Expedition 2019 team along with our Mananging Director, Dawa Steven Sherpa and the climbing sherpa for the successful summit on Mt. Everest this morning and we wish them all a safe return<\/p>\n Expedition Members Dawa Steven Sherpa High Altitude Climbing Sherpa Karma Lama And 65 Degrees North<\/a>, a team that\u00a0seeks to help in the rehabilitation of wounded or damaged ex-service men and women by offering the opportunity to participate in challenging adventure,\u00a0<\/span>made the top Tuesday morning:<\/p>\n Team EVEREST 2019: Top of the World!!<\/p>\n The team are standing on top of the highest mountain in the World!\u00a0Pushing themselves, mentally and physically, to the absolute limit was all worth it when Brendan, Scott, Joe and Tom all reached the summit of Mt Everest! For reasons of safety, Rich turned round just below the summit, a decision that would have been tough to make, but absolutely the right decision to make.\u00a0Having battled fatigue, extreme temperatures, lack of oxygen and at times, their own patience, they can all be extremely proud of their achievements.\u00a0The team will now start their immediate descent back to safety and photos from the summit will follow soon!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n And without details on who he was with, Kami Rita Sherpa is reported to have summited for the second time this season for a record 24th time.<\/p>\n Jagged Globe<\/a> is underway expecting to summit Wednesday morning May 22:<\/p>\n The Everest team are about to leave the South Col at 1930 local time.\u00a0David expects it to be a long summit day (his InReach most likely won’t have enough battery for the entire climb).\u00a0Teams have been leaving the South Col every hour since 1500hrs. There could be as many as 250 people going for the summit tonight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Those were who were planning to move to Camp 3 or to the South Col today for a\u00a0Wednesday,\u00a0May 22<\/strong> summit include:<\/p>\n The rope team is at 27,000-feet\/8230-meters along with the Alpenglow Team leading the push to the summit in good weather.<\/p>\n Adrian Ballinger<\/a>, Alpenglow, \u00a0gave me this update on his late Tuesday night:<\/p>\n First wave alpenglow summit push tonight with Tibetan rope fixers!!!!!! Groups moving from c2 and c3.\u00a0Not a drop of wind at 8300m since 1pm! Fingers crossed!\u00a0Rope fixers fixed to second step today in great conditions, returned to 8300 at 4pm. Will fix to summit early tomorrow if winds remain low<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
