More updates on what's going on in Nepal, again from MountEverest.net. Things turned ugly today, as more than 150,000 people took to the streets of Kathmandu in protest against the King, and demand a return to democracy. The military, in an attempt to quell the protests, responded violently, and at least three people were killed. You can read a full report here.
What a scary time to be in Nepal, and with all the climbers pretty much already there in preparation for their Everest climbs, as well as many other Himalayan peaks, these demonstrations, strikes, and now deaths, couldn't come at a worse time. I hope all the climbers are staying safe and getting out to base camp as soon as they can.
