Adventure Consultants Everest led by Guy Cotter - Spring 2007

Second summit party left C4 10:00 pm of 20 May and on top from 7:04 to 7:33 am of 21 May. All stayed at col from noon to 3:30 pm. These people also helped get USA member down from South Col afternoon of 21st (she had been told at BC by HRA doctors and Grocott members because she had chest infection she should not climb).

Summiters:

David Tait made a north-south traverse with Phurba Tashi and summited on 16 May. He belonged to Russell Brice's team on the north side and was a member of this expedition for his descent on the south side -- and for his ascent from the south side in his proposed double traverse, which he did not actually attempt [listed on Brice's team].

Non-summiting members:

Dunjey reached 6300m on 1 May, mountain too big and climate too cold, left expedition 3 May.

McGibbon got to South Summit on 21 May, ran out of steam, returned to C4.

Slachman reached C3 on 1 May, but was moving too slowly and was told on 15 May he could not be in a sumit party, so went no higher.

Oxygen:
Members in C3 to summit to C3
Sherpas from C4 to summit to C4

Accidents, etc: only serious medical problems were Moore's abscessed tooth, which was taken care of at BC by Hayden, a dentist, and his four cracked ribs caused by heavy coughing while on his way to the summit.
