Judging from the dispatches, the wind seems to alternate between hard and calm. More climbers are going up tonight, also on Lhotse, Everest North side, Kangchenjunga and Makalu. Watch for the oxygen-less attempts and a paraglide on Everest tonight, possibly even on the webcam just set up by the scientists at the Italian solar pyramid close to BC. Technology The EvK2Cnr Everest webcam has just been set up by the High Altitude Scientific and Technological Research. Here's from the press release: "The picture shows Mount Everest, 8,848 m, the highest mountain in the world. On the right you can see the South Col plateau, 8,000 m. The image is updated every 5 minutes, and you can even see the movements of clouds around the mountain. The webcam is active only with daylight, almost between 6 am and 18 pm, Nepali time zone." Everest South Gavin Bate (watch it live, take 1)/Adventure Alternative intended climbing up to Camp 4 (8,000m) on the South Col today, which means summit push tonight. "Looking at forecast it seems that there may be high winds tonight and tomorrow but if the team can make it up to camp 4 on the 19th May then it looks very positive for a summit on the morning of the 20th May! If not the 20th then the 21st which also looks like it will be favourable weather conditions." MountainTrip, led by Scott Woolums, aborted their summit attempt reporting strong and increasing winds.

  • Nepal 2015-16 Sides of Cho Oyu and Everest Had to Relocate; Many Went to Mansalu
    N EP A L 2 0 1 5 - 1 6 283 he earthquakes that struck Nepal in the spring of 2015 continue to have IAN WALL Ta devastating impact on ordinary people and the region’s infrastructure. Because of extensive damage to the border crossing areas, China closed the Tibet Himalaya and expeditions scheduled for Shishapangma, and the north Nepal 2015-16 sides of Cho Oyu and Everest had to relocate; many went to Mansalu. Then in September 2015, India closed its joint border with Nepal, allegedly due to hostilities in the Terai region of Nepal over the nation’s new constitution. Many people publically expressed the view that India was annoyed about Nepal’s apparent turn from a Hindu state to a secular one. The border clo- sures further slowed Nepal’s recovery from the earthquakes. Autumn 2015 Foreign visitors likely noticed little difference to life in Kathmandu other than fewer vehicles being on the road. India’s blockade manifested itself in particular in Kathmandu: there was no fuel, no medicines or raw materials and no cooking gas since Nepal gets 95% of these requirements from India. As might be expected, a thriving black market developed driving prices up. Domestic flight costs increased as there was limited aviation fuel and many non-tourist flights were cancelled, although that happens during more nor- mal periods too. Some expeditions did succeed during the autumn 2015 season. The first ascent of Gave Ding (6571m), by Mick Fowler and Paul Ramsden, in far north-western Nepal via its difficult north face was covered in AJ 2016.
