I caught up with Garrett Madison, founder of Madison Mountaineering from Everest Base Camp. He describes #Everest2021 thus far as they prepare for a 2:00 am departure back to Camps 1 and 2 in the Western Cwm. This will be their last rotation before the summit push in a couple of weeks. I asked him how his team, Madison Mountaineering, was doing with the COVID outbreak at EBC.

I talk in the beginning about the virus situation at EBC and the possible scenarios that could unfold over the next few weeks. Garrett's section begins at 7:45 in this short interview.
