I just received some tragic news from another team at Camp 3. Apparently a Czech team was attempting to cross the top of the Messner Coulouir at above 18,000 feet when a small slab avalanche killed one of their members.
Heidi Kloos and Rob Durnell, our two most experienced guides on an expedition currently hunkered down at High Camp, assisted with the rescue of the remaining climbers.
Please rest assured that no one on this expedition was in any way involved with the accident. Most of the team is doing great, although I did hear that a couple climbers are not feeling well and might descend with another Mountain Trip expedition tomorrow or the next day.
