Ama Dablam team checks in
12:57 p.m. EDT Oct 22, 2003
A few solar flares may have downed their data link up, but Adventure Consultants's team leader Luis Benitez's voice is coming through loud and clear from Ama Dablam Base Camp in their latest audio dispatch:
 Audio - The team calling in a dispatch
As Luis says, "There's nothing quite like walking into
Base Camp, sitting at the foot of your goal." The team
all arrived in BC safely and have spent the day
organizing food and gear, and generally making thier
tents feel more like home. The Puja Ceremony takes
place tomorrow. Then, the climb begins.
Adventure Consultants is headed to Southwest Ridge of Ama Dablam this fall. Three-time Everest summiteer, Luis Benitez is leading the month-long expedition to the 6,828m "Jewel of the Khumbu." Adventure Consultants is an IGO 8000 member and has a strong reputation among climbers for its very high standards, experienced guides and sherpas.
