Unrest Hit's Kathmandu

I missed this story yesterday as work and other committments kept me from getting to the blog, It's another Daily Update from MountEverest.net, which mentions the continued unrest in Nepal between the Maoist Rebels and the ruling Government. This battle has been going on for a decade, but this year it has spilled over to the streets of Kathmandu, with a general strike bringing business to a stand still, and reports of gunfire being exchanged between the Rebels and Army. It's a scary time there for many of the climbers, who are still in the city waiting for a chance to head out to Base Camp. Lets hope everyone stays safe, and that the opportunity to get on the mountain presents itself soon.
