Heiko's Everest 2011: Some impressions from the summit climb

http://heikoeverest.blogspot.com/2011/05/some-impressions-from-summit-climb.html

Updates on Heiko Weiner's 2011 Everest Climb. Friday, May 27, 2011. Some impressions from the summit climb. Things are kind of hectic now but here are some pictures from the summit attempt. More to come later. Camp 2 and camp 3 in the upper Lhotse face (elevation 24,023 ft). This is a precarious place, carved out into the steep Lhotse face. From there the decision is made to either proceed on to the South Cool, or descendf back down to camp 2 and base camp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Crampon poi...

Heiko's Everest 2011: Everest Summiters Club

http://heikoeverest.blogspot.com/2011/05/everest-summiters-club.html

Updates on Heiko Weiner's 2011 Everest Climb. Saturday, May 28, 2011. Otherwise, pretty harsh trip. Speaking of that, we learned that just after we left, two more climbers have unfortunately died up on the mountain. This just further brings it home how difficult the season has been with the low number of summits, five fatalities thus far and plenty of other incidents. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Heiko's Everest 2011: Camp 2/Western Cwm

http://heikoeverest.blogspot.com/2011/05/camp-2western-cwm.html

Updates on Heiko Weiner's 2011 Everest Climb. Thursday, May 19, 2011. May 19, 3:30 am, Camp 2/Western Cwm. The climb up to camp 3 is a major piece of work. The Lhotse Face is a lot steeper than it looks from a distance and, once on it there are very few spots for a break. In fact, the whole camp 3, located about 2/3 up the face is a rather precarious place with a few tent platforms carved out of the slope. While climbing through the last section up to our camp I briefly thought of Rick who went down righ...

Heiko's Everest 2011: Camp 4/South Col and Summit!!!

http://heikoeverest.blogspot.com/2011/05/camp-4south-col.html

Updates on Heiko Weiner's 2011 Everest Climb. Friday, May 20, 2011. Camp 4/South Col and Summit! May 20, 10 pm, Camp 4/South Col. What happened over the next roughly 30 hrs is even today a bit of a mystery to me. Many of the details following below I added at a later time – about four weeks after returning back to the US. This part would otherwise have been pretty short had I based it only on the things I recalled immediately following that day. In the meantime, more clouds were moving in again, now part...
