If you remember my comments about the remarkable sherpa i met in 
kathmandu relative to the SANOG conference which opens there today, 
the above URL takes you to a very good story in todays new york 
times....1400 words with 3 pictures ....unfortunately the picture the 
times published is of the wrong base camp.... they published the 
north face which is in china not the south face base camp which is in 
nepal.   sigh

oh...everest not likely pingable for another 60 days
