Dispatch Eight -- Leaving for ABC

Audio Listen to Tim’s voice dispatch from the mountain (235k mp3 file)

April 7, 2001

We are going to ABC (Advanced Base Camp) tomorrow. The yaks come tomorrow morning — we’ve packed all our extra gear — and we head up to ABC. It will take us two days probably. And from ABC we will try to establish a camp on the Col. So we will be out of contact for probably six days depending on if we lug this sat phone up to that area.

Other than that, we’ll try to work out the problem with the computer and get photos out to the general public.
