Hello everybody!
Today September 27th. I just have come down after working on the route. Here is snowfall. We are here 6 days and only one of them was without sunny.
Because of the absence of weather I can not step over 5650 meters. And today the weather in 5-6 a.m. was not bad, even with a sunny spell. But while I was going up on the last fix rope, the heavy clouds came and it started to snow. So the working day was over after that.
Now I work on the first rock pillar and I need the sun very much, instead of it - a big snow river filling in the rock. The South Face of Nuptse constantly under the avalanche but the night time. It was very noisy especially yesterday September 26: before in the night it was strongly snowing, and in the morning everything started to melt. Though our base camp situated not far from the face, we felt as on the front line.
But actually everything is OK. We hope that very soon the cross moment in the weather happens and..
That's all for now.
