Waiting for a window....

May 15, 7:30 pm, Base Camp

After the hike down to Gorakshep yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to stay at camp today. The weather was pretty reasonable, some sun on and off, and no snow… Higher up, though, things are not yet looking good, and it appears that we will have to sit it out in base camp for a while longer – another 2-3 days is the current estimate. Of course, a look at the calendar shows that the clock is ticking. And a bit nervously, I started to wonder if we will still get some reasonable weather before things have to come to an end for the season…
