Adventures International's Watch here for the most up to date reports on Everest this spring! These Expedition Reports are sent using the new Human Edge Tech's Contact 2.0 Software- with a direct and instant- Satellite Phone to Compaq IPAQ to These Pages! We will be adding lots of photos, very short video clips here, along with our shorter reports and sound files. This should be lots of fun keeping everyone in sync with the expedition this year. We have plans to send our reports back live almost every day from the mountain, all the way to the summit. We also will be covering John Rusts team on their 8000 meter program, up to the South Col and back. Stay in touch with what is happening each day on the hill this year! Hope everyone enjoys the reports. Scott Woolums Our Everest 2003 Expedition Summits! May 22, 2003 12:45pm (Nepal local time) Scott, called home via satellite phone from the summit of Mt. Everest to report that he and Cliff Dargonne were standing on top of the world at 29,035 feet, along with Sherpas Jangbu and Minga Chirri! He said they climbed through a storm that blew in making the going tough with lots of wind on the summit ridge. "We couldn't even see the main summit from the south summit...looked up to see patches of blue sky and decided to push on," he recalled. Kevin Neal and Sean McEvoy accompanied them to the south summit before making the difficult decision to descend. They are all resting safely at camp IV at this hour. Stay tuned for more details. Everest 2003 Expedition Summit Bid In Progress! May 21, 2003 9:30am PST (10:15pm Nepal time) Just received a call from Scott via satellite phone. The team is gearing up and planning to leave camp IV shortly for their summit attempt! He reports, that the high winds have ceased; however that was not in the forecast, so hard to know if the calm will hold into the daylight hours. No one has summated from the S. Col. yet this season. The 60 or so climbers who set out yesterday all turned back below the balcony due to extreme high winds. The Sherpas have not even been able to fix the lines above this point; they are currently enroute to do so just ahead of the climbing teams. Here at home, we'll be on the edge of our seats for the next 10-12 hours waiting to hear how it goes up high. Yvette Blanchett reporting.
