10/09/04 Advanced base camp
I am now in advanced base camp (ABC) at 5600 m. I left Nylan on the 6th. It was a four hour drive up on the Tibethian plateau to Shisha Pangma base camp (BC) at 5000m. I stayed in BC for three nights to get used to the altitude and wait for the yaks to arrive.

Yesterday we made the six and a half hour walk from BC to ABC and we had the yaks to carry our gear. Today we completed the camp.

I have my own tent wich is going to be my home for the next month. Together with a Spanish group I have a dining tent with a cook and a kitchen boy that serves us food. The next few days I will stay here in ABC to sort out the gear and get acclimatized. More news when I start climbing.
