Arnold reports in: Hello EverestNews.com. This is Arnold, the leader of the
SummitClimb Everest Tibet Expedition. This morning, 9:00 Chinese time, Maya,
Arnold, Jangbu and Ruan Hoglin summited Everest. We all summited for the
second time. Maya summited before from the South, Ron summited before from the
South, I summited before from this same side, and Jangbu already summited a
couple of times. The weather was very bad going to the summit. On the summit
ridge Maya could barely stand up, so strong was the wind. But with all of our
experience we finally made it to the summit safely.
Unfortunately on the way down, some group stole our oxygen from the
Mushroom Rock, so that meant from Mushroom Rock we had to descend without
oxygen. It made us very tired and it's why we're sleeping in Camp 2 now. We
are absolutely exhausted. This is the hardest time up on Everest before. I'm
kind of happy Everest showed it's. size again because all those easy summits
are nothing. This was very difficult. I'm cooking now, but I'm really really
tired. I can barely stay awake during the cooking. We'll look for you tomorrow
again when we're more fresh. But everybody's safe and healthy and we're in a
good spot.
