Comments, 1,122 views
Quick review-not much to talk about really. We didnt even climbed. Such thing never happend to me before. I am going to try explain the situation in a small photo-story. When I do a movie about this season, I will call it The Mountains From The Mole Perspective:-)
The expedition group was great. Everyone was working, cooking, doing everything as it was supposed to be done. No fucker at all.
Eventhough the weather was playing its little games, fun never stoped.
Just those four cloudless weeks didnt happen.

We are waiting in the Dilli…We need to rebook the flight, send the cargo. We left the bc a week ago without any problem. It is interesting- you can get from the winter to summer within two days. Charming change…Down there we were asured abou the problems that had happend around-many people dead or missing… The snowing was not normal. We met the Czech boys who had been doing Shivling and they were ok.

we went to check thw mountain, but it was a north side and the ways, we wanted to go up were covered in snow:-( we had to dig out some stuff- it were about two metres under the snow! unfortunately the snowing during last week have brought a big amount of snow, so it is not disappearing neither above the 5000m nor on the south side, so many of our b-plans are not possiblle. We would not get back to Bc.

10C, I wake up at the 5am and wake up theboys and cook. when the sun comes out we ascend the glacier of the 45 scale. it is covered in a one week old snow. I am a bit affraid it might slip…but at least we are turning left to rocks we get up to 5673m. we see th place at 6000m where we wanted to sleep but the snow is to deep. so we leave and go back. we have about 1270 m to descend. we are completly dead when we get to the BC-deep snow, the sun, it all takes too much of our power. and the Kalanka is in the fog all day long. Snow everywhere.
