Thank you so much for every people who watch them everytime with us.
Asbis also the subtitle on the blog,
Captain Kondo sent to Yale who are Japanese people are fighting with the serious earthquake.
Of course because of low oxygen,he didn't have the strong voice,
it was a very strong feeling,I think.
In the little,but there,as will the power of even one day early for the reconstruction of Japan.

Attack start!!



17:00PM at the local(in Japan 20:15PM),they standed at the south col,C4 at the 7900m in altitude.

01:00AM at the local(in Japan 04:15AM),forward to the highest of the world finaly...

Tomorrow's weather is best for climbing to attack to the highest of the world.
Not much other climbers are there,so that there are little traffic congestion.
So advances toward to the peak with their own pace.

Please pray for them and disseminating a strong power for there!!

After that.


One news came to here from BC.



One member who went down to BC arrived at there safety.



So hard and great job he did!!
He really put up a good fight!!

Please take enough rest in this night with deep Oxygen.



To some of Sherpa staff,we just want to say really thanks.
Because no one can't do the hard job except them.

Last departure.

So sorry we couldn't tell they arrived to C3 already.
Ever member are safely and fine,and then they go forward to final camp.
 
At first they did go at 6:00AM,but they were trapped in the tent by the strong wind.
But those wind be calm it was guessed by Japanese weather forecaster.
08:30AM at the local time,they departured at C3.
 
 
Then,10:50AM at the local time,arriving at the starting point of the Lhotse face traversal.
Current altitude 7600m,300m altitude difference now,
over 5 hours to climb only about 1.5km as the crow flies.
This is the same amount of elevation difference and distance from the station and climb to the summit of Mt ropeway.
 
If mt.Takao,who fast for 30minutes is usually a process of 45minutes leisurely walk,
Exceeding 7000m in altitude,the exhausting and time that many times.
 
But from the end of the phone,and even hear about how a healthy laugh.
 
 
Few hours to South col,and tonight attack from the last camp,
Thank you to further your support!!

The calling was reached to our office.
They arrived to C2 safely at 17:00PM at yesterday.
 

Then,
Will departure to next place C3,
one of member of them,he accepted the fact that there was no hope of recovery about his boday.
(In fact,his throat was broken so deeply then.)
Therefore he had to give up the way and go back to BC...
 
Our rerationship(AG and him) is so long and deeply,so we know his feelings for this way.
So really regret for us...
But he made right choice by himself,his choice is really frankly.
We hope he goes back to BC safely and his recovery as soon as possible.
 
 
3 member are  headed from C2 to C3 with sherpa.
It will take 5 hours probabry.
The strong wind still raged these days as usual.
However inside the Western Cwm where the members are climbing now,
is safety the wind are weak and sunshine are there.
According to the weather forecast,those strong wind will be more weak at this night.
It is good time to go.
We really hope the last 4 days will be good weather.
 
Keep do praying for them please.
It makes be their power surely!!

Pray for Japan with all of people!!
