Tomas and Tormod have been out of touch for a while, but I just got word from a friend in Advanced Basecamp that the two Vikings climbed up to 7500 meter and skied down to the North Col. and then continued down the west ("other") side of the North Col, to the Central Rongbuk glacier, to the foot of the North Face of Everest. This news is not confirmed. Hopefully they will be in touch soon to confirm this good news.
