Yesterday, September, 17-th, we have moved through the pass of Lalung La ( 5100 meters high) on which all have felt attributes of mountain illness. Our command has gone down in very exotic small town Old Tingri (4200ì). Directly in the street here mutton corps are dried and cows eat the rests of cardboard boxes. After dinner, we have gone in the city of Xegar (4200ì) where have spent the night.
Today under our plan of acclimatization, we have made an ascent on a mount near Xegar (4700ì) - practically as high as Mont Blanc. Near the top we should climb loose rocks, unpleasant moment that ends well.
Marat was strong and climbed very well, he feels very good. We all are very friendly with him, he is perfectly entered in our team. The weather in Tibet is warm, but unstable. The beginning of thunder-storm has banished us from the top. September, 20 we leave for the base camp Cho Oyu, which must be ready. Our Sherpas are waiting for us and have started to prepare the climbing route. Unfortunately in a part from Base Camp to Advanced Base Camp there will be no internet or telephone connection. So we do not know, when we could transfer the following message..
