Route Climbed: North Ridge /China Date Climbed: 29.May 2004
Summited 6:45 in the morning just 30min after sunset with a beautiful view over Tibet and the Nepali mountains. The North Ridge: A snow hike to camp3 (8300m) and from there quite demanding climbing to the summit. more informations under www.bergbote.de
Route Climbed: South / Nepal Date Climbed: Spring 2004
Although my dream of reaching the summit did not come to fruition, I would not trade my experience for anything!
Nepal was an incredible cultural experience and the people I was with (Mountain Link www.mountain-link.com) , as well as the people I met during the expedition, were well worth the expeirience - speaking specifically of Dr. Luanne Freer www.basecampmd.com and her staff without whom, my trip would have been a tragic one.
Well, another tough year for me. Reached 27,000' before turning back - between the South Col and the balcony. Last year it was a lung infection with a horrbile cough, this year it was similar but worse above 23,000'. The symptoms were idential to altitude sickness so maybe I was not meant to be that high :)
Anyway, I accomplished my goal of doing my best and getting as high as possible without endangering anyone.
