Scary morning

I received an email this morning from Everest base camp saying that a Sherpa had died in an accident on the Lhotse face. I was very concerned since I knew that Nima Tashi had been in camp 2 and was headed camp 3 (which is located on the Lhotse face).
After about twenty minutes of panicked emails, I learned that it was a Sherpa from another expedition. Reports have varied somewhat from an avalanche, falling ice, and an unsecured fall. Apparently, he was buried in a crevasse near the accident.
My deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of this Sherpa.
