I have some bad news... Mark sent me a text this morning and this is what it said, "Too many avalanches, weather issues. Too dangerous for my taste. I am heading back home and I will be in Nyalam tonight. Many of the other expedition teams have decided to go as well. The avalanches have knocked out all the safety lines running from Camp 1 all the way up to the summit, the weather forecast says it will continue to snow into October, therefore, new lines can not be set for the climbers." They had a choice to stay and wait into October or head home, which is what Mark and his team have choose to do.

Be Safe on your travels home Marky!!!
