Lafaille is well arrived at Annapurna's Base Camp last
April 12th.
(April
21, 2002) Hello, here is the latest news. In my
previous message, I told you that Jean Christophe was
coming back down from camp one
Jean
Christophe Lafaille is back to Annapurna's Base Camp
since last April 25th, in order to rest after the
acclimatization. He is happy with his shape and
progression... He has climbed until 7000 m before
coming back to sleep to Camp 2 (6500 meters). Weather
conditions are good but the wind is still strong, at
this point of acclimatization this is becoming
problematic! Click here for
the full dispatch.
Hi

complement to my previous dispatch. Finally, Jean
Christophe has left Base Camp last Friday May 3rd, to
reach Camp 1. He spent the night at that Camp. On
Saturday May 4th, he went to Camp 2 where he will
spend the night. On Sunday May 5th, he will climb
until 7100 m, where he will install a
"provisory" Camp 3... Click here for

Update
5/14/2002: Hi EverestNews.com, Here I am at
Annapurna's Base Camp. It is odd to send news
from here today. I arrived to Katmandu last May
10th at 14.00, I managed to catch the last local plane
Kathmandu-Pokhara at 15.00. Once in Pokhara (30
minutes flight), a Nepalese guide was waiting for
me with a taxi. We went over 50 km through little
roads and the typical Nepalese driving... then we
reached Naya Pul, where the trek begins.... Click here for
