Ski Everest Update..Yo-Yo Time: Berg Adventure’s David Burger calls from Camp 2, to report 50-60 knot winds yesterday drove the team down from Camp 3: “It was like being sandblasted, even with a balaclava and glacier glasses or goggles on. So we decided to come back down today and we managed to not get blown off the Lhotse Face”. Maegan Carney continued on down to Base Camp to wait out the breeze, while a few of the climbers remained at Camp 2. Maegan has until mid-November–when the team’s expedition permit expires–to pull off her climb and ski descent.

Hunkered Down on Lhotse: “Jesus, Wally….I warned you to lay off the beans.”
