Everest Expedition reports in...
Hey,
it is going to be a real climbing, a wonderful wall! -
he murmurs and has a sip from his tea. David
We're
going upwards at a constant slow pace and are
constantly gasping for breath quickly.
The
siege's begun but we're not in a hurry.
Because this is my lucky number I try to trace for You, dear website visitor, what and where the others are
doing...
Everest
Kangshung
Face: Andrαs, with morning swing, takes panoramic photos from the ridge above BC.
We don't let poor Konyi climb at all. We have found something to solder here, in ABC, too...
At
the margin between darkness and twilight, around five
o'clock in the morning, I'm sipping my tea alone...
The
crew of 'spaltni' camp: Konyi and Miki rush up to the
end of the fixed line...
(Our
cook Shamser, Zoli, Αkos and David) namely the 'SZΑD'
(which stand for 'your mouth') are carrying all kinds
of things Between ABC, the repository and 'spaltni'
camp.
While
we, hedonists, wake up on pleasant couches of ABC -
God forgive: of BC - our advance party, Konyi and Miki
open their eyes...
A
packing day. Our last stand, set up at 6100 meters, is
now in the stage called 'traverse'. We had to go on
snow
prepare
for a night climbing marathon
It
starts last night...
The
radio channels are hissing...
The
weather plays us like an instrument.
Today
the weather started reassuringly
We
don't know if we can believe it: if the fine sunny
weather will last or not
With
the arrival of the warmth of the sun, the process of
moving stuff gets started on the wall. Besides the
watchful eyes of Akos (the avalanches continue with
their customary enthusiasm)
Misty
morning... the ice ledge squeaks under me
In
our base camp enthusiastic work proceeds.
We're
not hurrying anywhere...
Our
decision is final. Without the peak, but we would like
to travel home with our skins intact.
The
removal of the ropes attached to the wall, the
disassembly of the equipment....
Up
there, in the crevice, the boys (Konyi, Zoli and Tool)
work for a while.
I
light up a pipe. Evening slinks towards the camp.
In
the morning, in the face of the uncertain weather,
they clambered up the route made so far to the end and
continued the rather discouraging work ...
The
route and progress of the Hungarian
Everest
Kangshung Face
Expedition.
The
Explorers team, after dismounting their fixed line,
'spaltni' camp, depository, ABC and BC, arrived back
to Kathmandu ...
