Dutch Mount Everest North Side 2002

Weather seems to cooperate. Did they reach 7400 meter ?

Friday May 10: We expect Hans and Wilco back in ABC this weekend. The question will be if they succeeded in reaching camp 2 at 7400 meter. Most of the weather forecasts seem to prove that suitable weather to climb is ahead. The current weather conditions are not fortunate....

Wilco told yesterday, with some emotion, that it is hard to be at those high altitudes. He was touched especially by the lonely hike, without Hans, from BC to ABC. But now Hans has joined him and they will get back into the mood.

Hans and Wilco are supported with weather-forecast reports from the Dutch Weather institute to plan their climb. The weather-forecasts proof to be very accurate. It looks like the weather will improve and Hans and Wilco, both are healthy, can go for the climb up to the highest camp.
