Today heavy day was. All day blew an ice wind. All Sherpas which were on the Saddle and were going to make one more
rise on 7700ì, in result have gone down in base camp. From below Members are approaching. Yesterday Ivan Dusharin, Yuri
Taidakov, Igor Pokhvalin, Dyma Tsokur came. Today they have left upwards to spend the night on a the Saddle. A bad
weather, but I nevertheless have advised to go upward because tomorrow weather is even worse. Now from below came Sasha
Yakovnko, two Slovenes Ìàrkî and Victor, we are waiting for Christian. Karo came still yesterday, but now he is waiting
for James Wilde. He has stopped in the Middle Camp because he has forgotten clothes from gore-tex. Also Sergey
Semenov is in the Middle Camp, he goes together with James. Nikolay Cherny now is near to come in the ÀÂÑ, we should
exchange places with him tomorrow. In ÀÂÑ Harry also sits and waits for the clients. They (Noel and Lynn), together
with the doctor have left in Jangmu. There they find out state of health of Noel.
For the nearest three days bad weather is promised: a strong wind, snow. So, probably, gradually everyone will go down
to the base camp.
