Dan Mazur Ama Dablam Expedition: Dispatch Six


 

Dispatch Six: Dear EverestNews.com readers, We are just about to get on the plane and will write you in two days from Namche, our Canadian friends on Pumori are moving along nicely... Thanks again for everything you have been doing! Cheers, Dan

Dispatch: The Canadian Pumori Expedition team is sitting at Namche Bazaar (3400m) acclimatizing after their hike from Phakding. Tomorrow they will spend a rest day acquiring fresh fruit and vegetables for Pumori Base-camp, with the assistance of their very capable Sidar Jangbu Sherpa. The team will take another 4 days to reach base-camp at 5400m above Gorak Shep just down the valley from Everest base-camp.

They plan to establish advanced base-camp about October 10th at 5700m, Camp I on the Southeast face at 6000m and Camp II on the shoulder at 6600m providing conditions permit. The team will be in position to make several summit attempts between the 17th and 20th of October. On this schedule the team should be back in Kathmandu before the 28th of October.
