Our hearts are broken
It is with deep sorrow and profound grief that we can confirm the loss of our Everest/Lhotse base camp doctor, Marisa Eve Girawong. Eve perished in the aftermath of the avalanche that struck the base camp area following the devastating Nepal earthquake earlier today.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Eve and her family and friends.
We will have more information later after daybreak in Nepal and additional updates from our team. Thank you for your combined prayers and well wishes.
My sympathy and prayers in this very heartbreaking news of your loss . I send my prayers and faith in the safe and rapid recovery of all involved.
Any info on the location and progress toward rescue of your climbers will be greatly appreciated. Especially Alan Arnette. I understand he is safe at camp 2 with others. Wishing the best of luck to everyone, very sorry for the loss of your colleague.
