The team are in great spirits having reached Advanced Base Camp yesterday (6340m). This is the closest a non-climber can get to the top of Everest – only 2300m from the summit. Report from Sean is that the glaciers are diminishing since he was last at ABC in 1996. It was a 7 hour, icy round trip to ABC and back to Camp 2 where they spent last night. Today they will descend to Rongbuk and then spend the next two days driving through rugged mountainous terrain back to Nepal.
