Veikka’s dispatches, 15. & 16.7.2009

The Team is taking it easy and just relaxing at the Gasherbrum base camp. Veikka & Kazuya are just waiting  for the right climbing weather. Watching the forecasts, predictions from different sources, – and the actual sky. The sky has been clear, except above 8000m Gasherbrums, they are surrounded by big clowds.

A bunch of international climbing teams are forced to leave Karakoram (K2, G2, etc.), because of the delayed good weather and more so because of climbing permits are running out of time.

Yesterday there was 15 cm new snow on the base camp in the morning, but no more in the afternoon, it was all melted by then.

The dinner is served, …

… and The Chefs who make it all possible, – everyday.
