CARLOS PAUNER dispatches group two

Update 5/2/2003: Everyday life at Base Camp: In an expedition to a big mountain like this, you climb, you work hard, you suffer, but most part of the time, around half, you stay at Base Camp, our home in these distant lands. Check here for the full dispatch.

Update 5/7/2003: Ready for the first assault: Kangchenjunga: Carlos Pauner. We are anchored in this beautiful corner of the Himalayas.  The wind owns everything and blows without break, shaking the snow in the summits and testing the stability of our tents at base camp.  For now we can only hope for the situation to improve.  We have a little hope in the weather forecasts than announce the end of the wind for the 9th. Check here for the full dispatch.

Update 5/9/2003  Breaking news (12:30 Spain time): Following the plan, Carlos Pauner and his expedition partners, Silvio Mondinelli, Mario Merelli and Kuntner, have reached 7,700m.  They have installed a little tent which they carried along and they are planning to spend the next hours in what would be a fleeting camp III.  They left base camp yesterday and reached camp II at 7,000m. Check here for the full dispatch.
