Regrettably, our group has developed some upper respiratory conditions that, while not life threatening and currently being treated, have left some of us a little too depleted to make the climb. Final decisions will be made tomorrow, but it is clear that some of us will remain here at Hotel Bright Star, while the rest will advance on to Chukung, where we will meet our climbing guides.
Cellular service and Internet will be very sporadic or non-existent for the next three day, but I will post if I can. Meanwhile, enjoy the following picture of our objective, Imja Tse, taken this evening from the patio of Hotel Bright Star, in beautiful Downtown Dingboche.
Namaste,
Jim Ronning
Jim and Team, good luck over the next few days, stay positive and be safe. I'm back in Seattle and will be watching the blog. Say "hi" to everyone for me.
