Dear All
A quick update from Jagged Globe
"Tim Calder just called from Depot Camp (just below Camp 1). The team are heading down to base camp. They planned to leave for the summit last night at 10.30pm but when they got up it was very cold and starting to snow. Later on that night the weather continued to deteriorate and they were worried about avalanche risk, as well as the low temperatures, so this morning they headed down the mountain.
They've left supplies up there and still have plenty of time, so we'll wait to hear about their next move tomorrow. For now, it sounds like it's been a tiring descent from Camp 2 but they should be able to recover sufficiently if they want to give it another shot. Stay tuned."
