The silent night!
The wind has been hammering us in the base camp on the northern side of Everest for five days. A strong and cold wind coming down from Everest make lifes in BC at bit tougher than I'm used to from previous expeditions.
But last night it stopped and we finally got a silent night! Instead of listening to the tents getting beaten by the wind all night there was almost complete silence. It was a great relief to get a solid night sleep!
The wind is starting to pick up as I am writing this so I am not sure there will be a another silent night, but we are happy that we at least got one!!!
Regards, Tomas Olsson in Everest BC - 5200 metres
