Weather gounds Helicopter in Chomrong for 2nd day by The Web Team

(7:08 AM Nepal Time) Don together with Denis Urubko and Serguey Bogomolov continue for a second day to be grounded in Chomrong, a town 6-7 hours away from Base Camp on foot. This back-up rescue team led by Serguey is bringing a complete medical kit and supplementary O2. When the weather is more favorable its hoped that Don and Denis will be airlifted as high as possible on the mountain. Its uncertain if Serguey will assist in this aspect of the rescue as he is apparently recovering from frostbite sustained on Annapurna 10 days ago.

Gear Expert's Pick

The North Face Caroline Down Coat - Women's

Its insultingly cold outside, but you dont want to dress in an Everest-style cover-all just to stay warm. The North Face Womens Caroline Down Coat wraps from your neck to your knees in warm, 600-fill goose down, and adds a flattering waist-belt to boot.
