Farewell ShishaPangma
Published on 2011-10-16 20:10:38
Sept 29th, 2011 It’s a bright sunshine day again, but it’s raining inside my heart because it’s the day that I would have to say good bye to ShishaPangma. Shared the last spicy noodle breakfast with my dear Sherpa friends. Ngima kept on adding yak meat and omelet to my bowl while he himself would only take the noodle part, “So you won’t be hungry on the way.” My dear [...] > read more
Lost on ShishaPangma -- Part 5 (end)
Published on 2011-10-16 19:58:26
8am, Sept 26th, 2011 Like an alarm clock, I woke up at 8am. Sun should have risen by this time, but it was still dark outside because of the heavy snow. I had been lying in sleeping bag since 7pm yesterday, but it did not make any sense to start moving under this condition. I simply couldn’t see anything anyway.9 [...] > read more

Sept 24th -26th , 2011 Lost on ShishaPangma -- Part 3 迷失在希夏邦马 (3) 6am, Sept 25th, 2011 I first woke up around 6am. It was still completely dark, no New England early sunrise. When I opened up the head section of my sleeping bag, a chilly air rushed in along with icy snow. It had snowed again while I was sleeping. My sleeping bag must ha [...] > read more
Lost on ShishaPangma -- Part 2
Published on 2011-10-14 08:35:35
8pm, Sept 24th, 2011 I calculated that if I kept 5200m, I should naturally get into camp. I was hoping to see the lake after the next turn, the next turn … but I was disappointed again and again. Dark falls faster in the mountain. I had counted on nautical lights that would still allow you to see long after sun set. But today, as sunset came near, the fog rose in the valley and it became impossible to see thr [...] > read more
