Dan Mazur's Kangchenjunga Spring 2002

Dispatch March 11th, 2002: We planned to reach camp 1 and sleep there today. We sent ahead two of our Tibetan climbing colleagues, Pinso and Pemba. They radioed us when they reached the camp, and began digging tent platforms into the unconsolidated scree and ruble at the top of the ridge at 5600meters. The day grew late, and we decided not to go to camp 1, because the wind looked strong on the ridge, which we can see from basecamp. The Tibetans came down in the evening, tired, after starting work on four platforms. 

Thank you very much. Cheers for now. Yours
Sincerely, Daniel Mazur from http://www.SummitClimb.com
