May 20, 2009 – I spent last night up at Pumori Camp 1 watching live sherpa helmet cam video come in by microwave from the summit climbers, as part of the Discovery Channel filming. It was pretty exciting to watch, and I will look forward to seeing the show (scheduled for November I think).

Here is the wrap-up on our first big summit day, May 20: Descending all the way to Camp 2 were Li Hui and Panuru, Chris and Pemba Dorje, Jane and Kami, Scott and Danuru, Dawes and Mingma Chhirring, Louis and Dasona, and Greg, Phillipe, Chhewang Lendu, Gyalgen Dorje (Lhotse). [More at IMG]
