 Autumn Mt. Everest 2004: The Dutch are at base camp... | |||||||||
| |||||||||
| Update 8/27/2004: The team has arrived at base camp at 5200 meters. They climbed to 5500 meters, some are not feling the best, which is normal. "Therefore we take just as a pause to recover.", Waerner reports. Boris returned to the hotel, about 1000 meters lower. When he feels better, he will returns to BC. The plan is on Sunday to go to 5800 meters and Monday to go to 6400. The plan is therefore perhaps postponed, a day because of yaks.
On the Tibet Side of Everest, a Dutch Team will attempt the mountain. The Dutch team is Werner de Jong (expedition leader) with another climber joining the expedition... Few expeditions are successful in Autumn on Everest as compared with the success in the Spring. See here for a classic Autumn expedition reports: Autumn Everest 2002
