23 May: Team Leaving Camp II

Bridie, the Base Camp Manager, just sent this update.

The team is doing well today. They are cleaning up Camp II and will hopefully be back at Base Camp around 4pm Nepal time. The climber with the bad arm and leg is now at Camp III. He survived a night on the Balcony and had not been expected to live. The snow blind guy is at Camp II and doing ok.

The weather is pretty snowy at Base Camp at the moment but it's not too cold or windy. I'm sure Willie, Doug and Francisco will be sending emails and calling when they get back here either tonight or if they are too tired, tomorrow. Stay tuned...
