2/11/06:Â After leaving Pumori decided to first tackle Lobache East. Today we received a satellite phone call to say that all the team had summited and were now back down at base camp. After a rest day the team are planning to move over to Island Peak and make an attempt on the less frequently climbed North Ridge.
27/10/06:The team have moved up to ABC, and have ventured onto the mountain to assess the conditions. Unfortunately conditions are not good enough to progress to Camp 1. The team are now considering moving across to Island Peak & Loboche East in order to make the most of their time in Nepal.
25/10/06:The team have arrived at Pumori Base Camp. There has been a lot of snow deposited on the mountain, however the team have decided to go up to ABC and have a look at the conditions. The forecast is for the weather to improve over the next few days
