After being very positive and having great confidence towards my summit
attack I’m now a bit more humble. Having a meter of snow here in camp
means there is definitely a lot more on the mountain. We are going to need
a few days of sunshine for the snow to settle before I even start thinking
of setting my foot on the mountain again.

Meanwhile I’m a prisoner here in Dhaulagiri base camp. All I’m missing is
the striped jersey. I’m spending my days trying to become a better person
reading a book called “Ethics for the new millennium” written by The Dalai
Lama. And my ventures don’t go any further than my fellow inmates next
door the Dutch-Austrian guys. They have a huge dome tent that is very
comfortable and warm for an evening tea and chat.

Looking out of my tent I can see that it’s still snowing here in the
mountains of Nepal.
