IMG Update: Avalanche Gives Climbers in Icefall and BC a Scare
May 2, 2009 – IMG team members John, Jon, and Matt descended to BC today. Greg, Dave A, and Philippe moved to C2, as did Justin and Dave R. We had a bit of a scare this morning when a big avalanche from the lower West Shoulder crashed into the lower Icefall, and dusted a number of climbers. Fortunately nobody was hurt. We even got a bit of ice dust at BC. [More at IMG]
