Update:
Hello friends,
Today, as an exception, we will be writing our cybercast in Spanish because
there are five members of the expedition that speak this language but don't
worry. Here is the translation:
Today, after a good breakfast, we started walking towards the base of the
Lhotse face. This short walk is part of our acclimatization process. We could
hear the wind blowing on the summit ridges and on the South Col. The sound it
makes can be compared to that of a train engine going at full speed. We were
also able to see how new tents are being set up on the Lhotse face at
approximately 24,000 feet which makes up camp 3. The weather forecasts we have
been receiving have been very accurate regarding wind speed and humidity so
for the next couple of days we will be forced to remain at camp 2 before we
can spend a night at camp 3 as we had planned. All the team is in good spirits
and trying to remain active.
Good bye for now,
Jose Luis and David Liaño
Saludos amigos Hispanoparlantes,
Como podrán ver, el día de hoy vamos a transmitir el cybercast en Español ya
que cinco miembros de la expedición hablamos este idioma.
Hoy, despues de un buen desayuno, nos encordamos y salimos en dirección a la
base de la pared oeste del Lhotse. Esta corta caminata es parte de nuestro
proceso de aclimatación. El viento se podía escuchar soplando en las aristas
cimeras y en el collado sur. El sonido es similar al de una locomotora a
máxima velocidad. Tambien pudimos ver como la pared del Lhotse se va llenando
de tiendas de campaña a una altura aproximada de 7,300 metros que forman el
campamento 3. Los pronósticos del tiempo han estado bastante acertados en
cuanto a los vientos y humedad por lo que nos veremos forzados a permanecer un
par de días más en el campamento 2 antes de poder subir a dormir al campamento
3 como se tiene planeado. Todo el equipo se encuentra con buenos animos y
tratando de mantenerse activo.
Saludos,
Jose Luis y David Liaño.
