Alexey Paskhin reports from the Base Camp:
21.04.2004
Our huge greetings from the Base Camp, (5000m.) Yesterday, 20.04 at about 13.00 we arrived here on jeeps and right away we were "thrown" on laceration of the ALTITUDE.... All the company, except for six - seven guys, feels like perfectly. At night we observed the fine star sky, there was a romantic mood and we could not sleep. By a dinner of the next day we were feeling better and walked on vicinities, made some photos. We plan to make our trip to À.Â.Ñ. on 23.04. On the whole Shisha Pangma is exiting, but we feel sand creaking on teeth and we are tormented by a headache.
