Camp Elevations


Was all of the drama below 6,400m? If only Camp 1 is seriously affected, that is a miracle, itself, as it can be the most quickly reconstituted - but if the damage is strung out all over the range and affecting up to Camp 4 - those cats higher up should start heading down ASAFP. The aftershocks and whatnot are going to make their situation more and more dire.

IIRC, it's very early in the season and they're still acclimating. Few if any should have been higher than Camp 2.

There were only climbers as high as camp 2. It's still early in the climbing season there.

The big avalanche was below camp 1 and actually a good bit lower than that. It was below the Khumbu Icefall and base camp.
