 Anderson's call from Everest LISTEN: [RealPlayer] [Windows Media]
You need a FREE media player to listen.Hi, this is Robert Anderson calling from Everest Base Camp. I'll be leaving tomorrow and we're headed up to Camp II, and then on up to Camp III, and try to do some work up on the higher mountain. Camp III, last time we left, had temperatures that the Sherpas reckoned were similar to the South Col. So it's getting a bit colder up there, but we're still planning on moving higher. The weather's been off and on for about the last five days, we moved down here for a couple days of rest. And then we'll be taking off and moving up from Camp III onto the North Col, and then having a look higher on the mountain. There's pretty high winds and there's the traditional plume off the top of Everest, but that's pretty much to be expected this time of year. We just have to wait until the jet stream moves either north or south, so we can make a shot for the summit. A perfectly clear-sky night tonight, a few stars out, and the moon is just starting to come back again, so there will be a little bit of light for our work, because it's been calmer during the evening. I'll update in the next couple of days.
