Scott checked in today at Gorak Shep after his hike up from Lobuche using his SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker. He then hiked up to the summit of Kala Patthar, a peak with a summit of 5,545 meters (18,192 ft).

Scott will be arriving at Everest Base Camp on 6 April. After settling in we should start to get a lot more from Scott via a BGAN (INMARSAT satellite) phone.
