Mr. Honda and Mr. Ngatemba sherpa |

Update 5/21/2005: A group of the Korean attempted the
summit! We are told they have turned back around the balcony. (The ropes also
end around the Balcony). We have no idea why they turned around, nor can we
confirm at this time that they all turned around. It is unknown at this time
if others attempted with them.
However, Mr Honda has arrived at Camp 4 at midnight. Other
Koreans are said to have arrived at Camp 4 at around 11pm (on the 20th).
Unclear if any of these climbers attempted or if they stayed at camp 4.
Scott Wazny
has came down to base camp...
