May 5- splitting the team

The 2012 High Adventures Expedition has decided to split in half. Hugo, Dendi, Tendi, and Karna have descended from Everest basecamp. They are currently in Tengbouche en route to Kathmandu. That leaves Karma and Pasang in basecamp where they are gearing up for a climb up the South Col. High Adventures Expeditions basecamp will remain operational to support their ascent while the rest of the team makes their way down to Lukla and then back to Kathmandu. Keep tuned to the blog for a full and detailed account of the avalanche that struck the team on April 27th.
