2 members and the captain Kondo,and also 3 sherpa who surpported to the members.

6 members,all of them,standed at there then in a safe!!

So heavey winds obstruct their way.

However after 10h's fight,they standed up the top of the peak.

Of course all member were not there,but he also shared with them at BC surely.

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.

Today,

19:00PM at the local,already finished dinner,take a rest,5 hours for the next stage.

Time in short,but suck oxygen firmly,and relieved pur tired body as possible as they can.

 

 

And now!!!

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!!

The time will be slated for 12:00PM~14:00PM in Japanese time.

Wish we can report to you and ever people who watch them.

We wish!!

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!!

 

C3

08:40AM at the local time,

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!!

To C2 from BC.(Started to the long road.)

Acording to the contact by the local,

They started to climb and got over to the ice fall what is too difficult to do.
And went trough by Western Cwm,they got to C1.

@Mt.Fuji

In Everest BC,they are waiting for good weather now.

 

 

 

But equable climate does not comes at Himaraya in this year.

Good weather does not hold up...

So they can't help waiting for the day become well again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Japan,the BC team of AG climbed up Mt.Fuji one step ahead of the Everest expedetion.

 

The team members are 8 in all,they played downhill skiing&snowboarding from top of the Mt.Fuji.

 

 

The weather was good.

However because of the rain came down in last week,they couldn't do untill 7th St.

 

 

For all that,they could stand up with all of member then,it made them feel happy.

Of course,they also helped for our project too.

 

 

 

 

Now that we are praying the Everest expedition team will be able to climb and stand up the top of Mt.Everest with all of their members.
