MEGAN AND JULIO TAKING A RIDE [0371EVE072]FROM BASE CAMP [EVE 2007-04-08_22]HIMEX CAMP - That big white dome is Russell Brice's "White Pod." It is heated with lounge chairs and tables and someone told me, a big screen TV, but I refuse to believe that because I didn't actually see it. We peered inside like little kids locked out of Disneyland. [EVE 2007-04-11_12]Yaks and herders returning to BC [EVE 2007-04-11]The Philippine Women's Team and Penny from New Zealand - We got lots of visitors at BC. The Philippine women became the first women to traverse the mountain. They summitted from the north and descended down the south side. I could say that I'm insanely jealous and that I hate them all but they were really cool and I'm very happy for them! [EVE 2007-05-08]THE CAVEMAN - He is a holy Lama but we called him the Caveman because he's lived here in a cave for 15 years. The Sherpas visit him to ask how they will do on the mountain. During this visit, Gene asked (and paid) for a reading. The Caveman had to roll his dice 6 times to get a "good" roll (that's not good). The Caveman told our Sherpas that Gene should pray every day (really not good). The rest of us opted out. [EVE 2007-05-07_43]The Caveman is rolling the dice. [EVE 2007-05-07_2]Now he reads the manuscript. [EVE 2007-05-07_4]Phanden takes out his prayer beads. [EVE 2007-05-07_9]EVEREST - Along the trail to ABC, right by BC, if you veer off to the right over a hill, you will find these lakes [EVE 2007-04-13_13]TAMDING - He worked hard doing the dirty work but he always had a smile on his face. [EVE 2007-04-14_18]KONYI GLASSES - His real name is Laszlo Alfred Varkonyi, but everyone in Hungary calls him Konyi. He and his climbing partner, David, shared our VISA, base camp and ABC services. This would be their fourth attempt without oxygen (which is nuts, BTW). I don't know exactly how high they made it, maybe to 8300 meters, only that they did not summit. [EVE 2007-04-11_6]KONYI - Laszlo Alfred Varkonyi, but everyone in Hungary calls him Konyi. Here's a better picture of the Hungarian climber [EVE 2007-04-11_4]DAVID KLEIN - Konyi's climbing partner from Hungary [EVE 2007-05-17]Another view of Base Camp - our camp is way across the field [0085EVE071]WHERE ARE WE GOING EXACTLY?
