it was not to be!
extreme cold, storms and avalanches have not modified our summit bid foiled.
the "Turquoise Goddess" has been shown in this year's Nachmonsunzeit at all of its repellent side. The cold and stormy weather of recent days, the heavy snowfalls earlier, several injured by avalanches and last but not least, the refusal of the Sherpas, the agreed and Insurance paid to install cable, most top candidates have had to leave early and unnerved.
We have even cleared our high camp, "enjoyed" two storm last night, our fingers and toes one last time exposed to extreme cold and yesterday descended to ABC, where we now dry sort our gear and pack up and tomorrow, with luck, to 26 in the tent of nights to enjoy again the almost unusual comfort of a typical Chinese Hotels can be!
If everything goes well, we will arrive tomorrow evening in Kathmandu and there, in the relative civilization of Nepal's capital, the remaining two days with food, drink, last visits and relaxing stay.
Our thoughts at this time, during the journey home and safe in the future again and again to Nepal, Tibet, in the magnificent mountain landscape the Himalayas, and return to the experience and suffering of a large expedition that can convey the joys and tribulations of a
whole human life. Thank
Finally, we'll look forward to all for the good thoughts and wishes that you have us sent to our long journey to say goodbye to a reunion and us with the following lines of Friedrich Hölderlin:
check everything, man, say the gods,
that he fostered strong, thank you for all learning, and
understand the freedom to break away wherever he likes.
love from the very high mountains of Sepp and the expedition team:
Walter, Roland and Michael
PS We are confident , even without good and sufficient summit photos photographs home with them to and are looking forward to sharing our experiences with you. Once fixed this talk shows are on these pages!
