More photos from the uokhaa party (Birthday of Sergey Kofanov)

07/05/2007 20:10

Bill Tyler: In life there are moments one remembers all of thier days and this will be one of them. It was awesome to feel miles away from anyone (we were isolated from the town and noise, and cooking the stew and just having fun). They cooked under the protection of a large rock, and once it was done we moved next to a large brook with waterfalls, etc. to eat. (it was flatter there and we could all sit around the fire). We spent the day eating the fish and drinking and talking and sleeping. It was heaven. We headed back in the evening when the sun was setting and then met up for a late dinner ...

Bill Tyler: back from NC and first 2007 summits on Everest

02/05/2007 17:18

Bill Tyler: back from NC and first 2007 summits on Everest (brief variant)   The trek up to ABC sucked as usual, and I was glad that my times improved dramatically. SO I felt that maybe there is something to training before a trip. We spent 3 days at ABC, 1 due to weather. I felt fine the whole time, with little headaches and short of breath to really make life interesting. It took a few days for mr to sleep longer than 3 hours. We got snow and wind, but I was fine. Warm as heck to say the least. The north col is quite steep. Talking with the sherpas and other who have been there last ...

Bruce Matthews: 7 Summits - Club Expedition members with photos (7summits.com)

01/05/2007 14:39

Bruce Matthews During my time with the real team, those attempting to summit, I got close enough to some of the members and others remained aloof.

However, my traveling companion back to Kathmandu, Amen, was able to give me enough on each member for me to be able to let you have an insight into these members. I am sure it will help ...
