May 6, 2009 – Panuru and Mingma Tenzing returned to BC this morning from C2 after their summit yesterday (also descending from C2 this morning were Greg, Dave A. and Phillipe). It was great to get the lowdown from them on their progress fixing. In addition to cutting down a bunch of old rope, they strung double-ropes above the South Summit to allow for both up and down traffic, and also put three new ropes on the Hillary Step (and removed about ten old ones). It sounds like they had a great day up there! [More at IMG]
