April
23, 2004: Andrés, Luis (Libretón), Richard, Martin and
Tom are again at Camp 3. Juan Pablo went down to Camp 2
and Alejandro went back to Base Camp because he was
feeling a little sick. He is already at Base Camp and
he is feeling fine, he got there very hungry...
Today was a very ugly day
because it was snowing a lot, but there is no wind. The forecast says that
the snow will recede and the wind will stay calm. I suppose that Andrés and
some climbers will take advantage of this to enhance their acclimatization at
7,400m trying to stay up there a day longer.
