mountainmatt Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Dawa Sherpa traversed from the North base camp to the south base camp of Everest in 20 hours. Sick stuff... http://www.everestnews.com/Summitclimb2005/everesttibet2006disps05222006.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 That's pretty cool. All I can think is he had to use the loo and the north base camp potty was occupied. Cluster fudge at the North Col. So are the guys in the four tents outside of the main camp being too flatulent or something?... North Col, Tibet. Population: 3,425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Even with all the people, that is one cool looking camping spot. I am not up on my everest info, but is this the high camp for the standard route? The slope above looks gnarly for a oxygen deprived foo.

jmace Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Looking down at camp 1 on the North Col. Photo Andrew Brash That was from the site the picture was from.. I found this awesome..i thnk for my next trip this summer I may see if we can fit in an entertainment tent.. we first visited the Chinese expedition's camp, with their multiple SUVs in the 'parking lot', television crew and star climbing team. Dan and I were escorted into the 'visitors' tent . Finally entering the Russian camp, we had a quick look at the entertainment tent that included televisions and about 10 laptops online, then Alex walked us past the sauna/bath tent , without doubt an ingeneous but smelly apparatus Insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
