 Hear Willi's Call
|
Hello Mountain Zone, this is Willi Prittie reporting for the Alpine Ascents International Mount Everest Program. We are dispatching via radio from Camp I at 6035 meters, approximately up in the base of the Western Cwm. We had an absolutely glorious trip up; everybody was definitely fatigued and tired when we got here. It was about a nine-hour trip. Kind of which involves traversing through the Khumbu Icefall and crossing about a dozen ladders or so. Had an absolutely gorgeous trip through that area...[transmission fails].
