Earthquake in Nepal

[Sean Hible]

Hey guys, I'm not sure if anybody has read up on the news yet, but a massive earthquake hit Nepal today. Among the many hundreds of fatalities elsewhere, the earthquake triggered an avalanche that hit Everest Base Camp with many fatalities and casualties. More information to come but Rock and Ice has put out a article outlining the scene as of now.

Be safe climbing out there guys. I'd rather not hear of any former club members in the rubble of this or any other accident in the future.
