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.
