In their dispatch of May 30, the team reports that Kenton, Eirik, John, Greg and Nick were at the South Col, expecting to leave for the summit around 10pm local time tonight (approximately 5.15pm GMT).
The JG North Side climbers left ABC this morning for the North Col. They are looking to summit 2 or 3 of June, when the winds are forecast to be even lower.
The south side expedition is led by Jagged Globe guide Kenton Cool; a hard-core ice climber, nominated for the Piolet d’Or for a new route on Annapurna III
