« Close contact with the north face of Everest | Main | Unconfirmed news from Tomas and Tormod »

Plans for the coming days

We will the coming days move up to ABC at 6400 meters. From there we will explore the area, climbing to the North Col and beyond, in our continuos research of the North Face and the possibility of a first ski descent.

Other objectives of our stay at the upper end of the East Rongbuk Glacier will be to acclimatise high on the North Ridge, we will aim for an altitude of + 7500 meters, hopefully towards the 8000-meter mark.

As computer (and MP3-player) hard drives can't cope well with altitude, we've already (hopefully temporarily) lost one out of three computers to the thin air, we won't risk taking our functioning computers another 1200 meters above sea level. That might just jeopardise our means of communications for the duration of the expedition. Not to mention coping with the never-ending flow of digital images that needs to get off the memory cards that fill up on a daily basis.

We'll report again as soon as possible, for the mean time it's hard work and good fun at the same time from the Vikings on Everest.

Regards,
Tormod
