New audio update from TA on Pumori.

This is the text of TA’s audio message:

Hi this is TA calling in from advanced base camp on Mount Pumori.  I had a pretty good hike up here at first it was a bit challenging because it was hard to breathe through all the tears.  Sometimes I think the Himalayas just like to make me cry.  I’d actually been doing fine until one of my teammates asked if there was anything they could take to the summit for me.  As you can see, it just undid me.  I’ve carried up the breast cancer foundation flag up to here and if I go up to camp one tomorrow I will carry it up there.  Then I will pass the torch over to my teammates and hopefully they will be able to take it the rest of the way.

It’s 2 o’clock and I’ve already lost the sun so its going to be a chilly night up here.  Its kinda like playing house because I can have all the ridges rests all the sun rests that I want because I’m the only one up here.  I had a wonderful noodle soup for lunch and will get some kinda meal ready to eat for dinner.  See what the morning brings in terms of energy, focus, and desire, either going up or down or both.  I’m hanging in there.  I’m admiring the view, and let me tell you the view from advanced base camp can’t be beat.  Looking over at Everest, and Nuptse and the Lhotse and the Lhotse face and the ice fall, it’s a real privilege to be up here. I will talk to you tomorrow
