Everest 2023: Weekend Update April 23
Weekend Update While teams are as high as Camp 2 on Everest, most of the attention was on Annapurna, where one climber died, and two other climbers were miraculously rescued. Heavy snow hit Everest, but climbing continued. Everest Base Camp is filling up as permits topped 400, a record for the Nepal side. The fixed rope was set to the South Col. I expect it reach the summit late next week. I cover a few topics in this update: - Noel Hanna death on Annapurna - Annapurna Anurag Maloo miracle rescue - Baljeet Kaur rescue - Record Everest permits - First steps in the Khumbu Icefall Climb On!AlanMemories are Everything
