I just received some tragic news from another team at Camp 3. Apparently a Czech team was attempting to cross the top of the Messner Coulouir at above 18,000 feet when a small slab avalanche killed one of their members.
Heidi and Rob Durnell, our two most experienced guides an expedition hunkered down at High Camp, assisted with the rescue of the remaining climbers.
Rest assured that no one from this team was in any way involved with the accident.
I have not heard from The May 13th team yet, but have heard second hand news, that they will be climbing into cell phone range tomorrow.
As soon as I hear anything definitive, I will post another update.
