Jon was near an avalanche but he is OK

Just in case you hear something on the news . . .

Jon called to say that he and Marcus are OK.   They were in the icefall when an avalanche fell off the west shoulder of Everest onto the icefall between the Football Field and Camp 1.  Now he's safe back at base camp.

CNN says that up to 10 people are missing.

Jon and I are counting our blessings.

  5. Glad to hear you are safe! My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones in the avalanche. It has been interesting following your journey and I do hope you, the Sherpas and the IMG team summit (and make it back down) successfully. It was a pleasure climbing Mount Rainier with you and I know your positive attitude is helping keep everyone's spirit's up.
