EVEREST CLIMB
BASE AND OTHER CAMPS ESTABLISHED SUPPLIES CARRIED UP GLACIER. GOOD WEATHER REPORTED. (Recd This Day, 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, May 16. A copyright message received by “The Times” from Mr Tilman announces that, after its arrival on Apil 6, the expedition established its base camp at a height of 18,000 feet, on the snout of the East Ringbuk Glacier. Stores have been relayed up the glacier to camps 2 and 3, which have been established and stocked. Thirty Sherpas have been selected to remain with the party during the assault. The weather is good and sunny and not unbearably cold. The party is suffering from coughs and colds inevitable in high Himalayan altitudes, but these are no worse than in the previous year.
