Photos from Everest
May 5th, 2010 . by adminI have stopped for the night in Pheriche on our trek down to Pangboche so that I can get some emailing done, and finally post a few snaps from Everest. I will post more tomorrow from Pangboche which is a further hour’s walk away from here. Rob and Bonita (from Kenton’s group) have continued on. James was meant to come with us, but last night something disagreed with him and he turned the colour of dahl bhat before proceeding to be sick out of his tent. ”Better out than in” quote, unquote. He is feeling much better now, 99.9% back to his normal self, but has decided to come down tomorrow instead. (Please don’t worry family Stearns, he’s a tough nut, really.)
I was overjoyed last night to discover that they’ve erected a new antenna in Gorak Shep, which means we have mobile signal at base camp. All text messages gratefully received!!!
Right, I’m off for some dhal bhat…..

"Sundog" over Everest. Phenomenon heralding precipitation. Taken 5 days ago from basecamp, impressive example, rarely seen.

Me about to abseil at the top of the icefall
Hi darling. The abseiling looks hair-raising!
Love the pictures of the sun-dog.
Looks cool fi. Wish the weather was that good in france. XXX
Hi Fi
I don’t know you but l seen your article in the metro before you left and l’ve been checking your website ever since. I had only just finished reading a book about the everst ascent and l think its utterly fantastic what you are doing and l really wish you the very best of luck in reaching the summit. I hope the bronchal problems settle down
Best wishes ;0)
Hi Fi,
The pictures look fantastic. We wish you all the best in reaching the summit and look forward to hearing all about your trip when we see you in the summer.
Take care, Kim and Oliver
Hey Fi, hope all going well, good luck for the final push
Well done superwoman. But don’t make a habit of thing sort of thing. How about Scrabble? Love Dad and Gill. xxxxxx
