Dispatch Six: mBank Mansalu Expedition
During our last excursion we settled the "proper camp
II on the altitude 6260 m. It consist of two
well-equipped tents. We also moved a little bit higher
towards camp III and we left a small deposit. Camp III
is planned to be settled on the altitude 6900 m.
After
returning to the base we found a little surprise
waiting for us. During the night between 19th and 20th
April, the hurricane broke out over the base. All
expedition had some losses as a result of it. We lost
four tents, which we successfully got back with most
of the equipment.
The
undisputable hero of this night was the leader
of Slovenian expedition who experienced
100-meter-rally inside his tent.
Now
all members of our expedition are in the base.
Tomorrow the Georgians are going out. The weather
conditions are indifferent, all area we move on is
covered with layer of fresh snow.
Im
sending my best regards to everybody, Piotr Pustelnik
