Update
6/6/2001: Hello
EverestNews.com !
Yes
I reached the summit on 22nd without the help of
oxygen and Sherpas (I only used a tent that was set up
by the sherpas) and carried my snowboard with me. At
4p.m. (Chinese time) I started to descend. As I know I
am the first to carve my track in the snows beyond the
summit. In the beginning I wanted to ride the Norton
Couloir - I had already a 15m-rope and an anchor.
However in the triangle I realized that the snow was
very hard. The wind from below threw the snow into my
face and I knew that it would be no fun. So I stopped
my ride below the first step and carried the board
until 7.600m from where I continued a short distance
before ABC the next day. I hope this answers your
questions.
Please
drop me a line if you need more. [We will !]
Best
regards, Stefan
