Everest Base Camp - news

News from the Wanderer arrived this morning:

  Just to let you know I am still alive.

I made it to Everest base camp but did not make it to summit of island peak, was about 20 mins away and gave up, the truth is I was terrified but I am using the high winds has my official excuse, guides said they had never seen such strong winds, it was pretty crazy.

I have been suffering with a horrid cold and under something of a grey blanket this week and I can't tell you how much the news has cheered me up!  This is the other side of the two edged sword I wrote about in my last post!!

No photos but if you Google "Everest Base Camp" you'll find plenty though obviously none of the Wanderer!

    Well done her! How sensible not to force herself into a dangerous situation.
    Breathe again Jane!

    I am still with you. I am so glad for you and her that she is not a peak bagger, and knows and honours her limitations. I hope you feel better soon.

    She sounds like she knows her strengths and her limits. So glad you heard from her! Feel well soon.

    This is the point when technology becomes wonderful. Well done, Wanderer, for knowing when to stop.
    Hope you're better soon.

    So glad to hear this. I know you are breathing a big sigh of relief as far as that particular mountain goes. As Elizabethd says - breathe again!

    Phew hey?!! Such a strong tie we carry with our children.
    p.s...Re: Ballerina Fox...Genevieve is a bit of a recluse so it's no wonder you haven't seen her...maybe early morning on the Seine by the book sellers...
