GreatOutdoors, it's Dave Hahn again, Part II of that dispatch. It's now nighttime, standing at Camp I. We've got a moon out tonight, snow clouds been on us all day faded away, dropped down, and now we got a clear sky, and a half a moon, quarter moon technically, but really pretty on the icy walls of Nuptse and the West Shoulder of Everest, and looking up to the head of the valley a few miles away at Lhotse, the fourth highest mountain in the world. Yeah looking around us, we're the only ones here, with all these people, with 40 plus expeditions and were the only ones here tonight, we own the Western Cwm, or at least this part of it. Boy it's beautiful out,Pumori behind us and the first stars... pretty night up here in the Western Cwm. And just going to get prettier I think, more stars coming out every minute now. All right, that's all for now.
