Friday

This will be our third night at camp one, i sleep in half a tent the other is for gear although most of our gear is at camp two. I was supposed to be resting but took young Ningma who is studying to be a monk up to camp two because he wanted to learn rock climbing skills. Tom stayed home in his nice roomy tent. the only person at camp two was songma Nima's  brother and the very suspicious Russian. The Austrians were up on the mountain. Nima's latest brainstorm is for us to head up past camp three then i and nomic will solo on up to the top! why would anyone go through all of this suffering aside from the International intrigue and the chance to experience diomox and spend 12-15 hours a day in a tent? Well, it is amazingly beautiful, we are living in a cloud place a dream place.
