| Route Notes | Translated by Google from Czech team blog: http://blog.namche.cz/?tag=ama-dablam Weather decided expedition ends 10/04/2014 Yesterday morning, Simon said by phone. Unfortunately the weather decided for them. Over the past week, each day on the hill thought Novena 7-15 cm of snow. That the output is safe, it would need to stopped snowing. Then, it takes two to three days before he sits snow, slope solidifies and can be planned output. But it is projected to snow until Friday morning. Without snow fall was only Saturday and Sunday. So if the weather held, and on Monday it could soar upwards. But on Monday it was reported the next snowfall. And no cooing, the proper snow flurry. Thus a "window" on the output of substantially any. So how do we expeditions unfortunately experienced several times. The Group therefore decided to not spend time waiting at base camp and climb terminate. Yesterday retreated downhill equipment (packed C1) and returned to the Pangboche. According to their information returns under the Island Peak, so that even the other half At least expedition reached the top of Island Peak. Built C1 01/10/2014 This morning we again managed to establish telephone contact. The boys have since yesterday built the first altitude camp in it and rendered some equipment. But it is still troubling weather. Snowing day, every day think of 5-10 cm new snow, making climbing is not at all good. On the weekend (Friday - Sunday) should be good weather (clear, no snow fall), but it's hard to tell whether this will be enough to output. So keep your fist !!! Another attempt to establish a connection - tonight - was unsuccessful. Spoiled by the weather, what's next? 09.30.2014 The expedition team arrived yesterday to Base Camp of Ama Dablam below. However, it welcomed the snow fall and the outlook for the next days the weather is not very good. The group now awaits vynášky, just for the first high camp. Another course of action will affect mainly the weather. So we wish, at predictions tweaks and get a chance to climb. |
