  Mt. Everest 2005: 7 Summits Club: Abramov Alexander reports from Everest ABC (6300m), Tibet.
Update: Abramov Alexander (expedition leader) reports from Everest ABC (6300m), Tibet.

 

29 April 2005: Today heavy day was. All day blew an ice wind. All Sherpas which were on the Saddle and were going to make one more rise on 7700м, in result have gone down in base camp. From below Members are approaching. Yesterday Ivan Dusharin, Yuri Taidakov, Igor Pokhvalin, Dyma Tsokur came. Today they have left upwards to spend the night on a the Saddle. A bad weather, but I nevertheless have advised to go upward because tomorrow weather is even worse. Now from below came Sasha Yakovnko, two Slovenes Маrkо and Victor, we are waiting for Christian. Karo came still yesterday, but now he is  waiting for James Wilde. He has  stopped  in the Middle Camp because he has forgotten clothes from gore-tex.   Also Sergey Semenov  is in the Middle Camp, he goes together with James. Nikolay Cherny  now is near  to come in the АВС, we  should exchange places with him tomorrow. In АВС  Harry also sits and waits for the clients. They (Noel and Lynn), together with the doctor have left for Jangmu. There they find out state of health of Noel. For the nearest three days bad weather is promised: a strong wind, snow. So, probably, gradually everyone will go down to the  base camp.
