I was able to speak to Lakpa Rita at base camp and along with other teams we are assisting with those effected by the avalanche at base camp. Those located in the center of the sprawling tent camp were most effected. Our larger tents are being used a medical tents and will report should there be any further development. All our climbers and Sherpa staff are OK.
I did speak with guide Eric Murphy earlier, where our climbing team is at Camp I. They will remain at Camp I for now, with hopes to assess ice fall conditions and route down through the ice fall in the next few days.
