The daily replica rolex Swiss Rolex ETA Replica watch avalanche patterns

The 2009 season on Everest was a very warm winter with very littlesnow (the previous year ‘08 it has snowed nearly nothing in the SoluKhumbu) and in ’09 it was very hot during the “rotations” to the highcamps. The daily replica rolex Swiss Rolex ETA Replica watch avalanche patterns from Pumo Ri, Lo La pass, westshoulder and Nuptse were more frequent and larger avalanches than inother years. Especially the hanging glacier high up on the westshoulder had created big avalanches prior to our accident. There was abig serac, which looked like it would fall down immediately, but nobodycould know when that would happen.

Everybody – especially all theguides – were very concerned when the next big one would come.I had successfully finished the 2nd rotation with my team and wewere on our final way down from camp 2 to base camp. We made the usualstart at 6 in the morning rolex Japanese Rolex Replica watch reaching the icefall around 7 when the sunreached us. We could feel that it was very hot that day. I told my teamto hurry and go as fast as they could.The avalanche hit us at one of the last ladders on the way down, Icould hear the noise, looked back and realized immediately, that thiswas the big one that everybody had been afraid of.We had about 5 seconds for reaction.

We unclipped from the fixedline and hurried about 5 meters over and into the shadow of a serac,the only one reachable in the short time. Unfortunately there was avery small crevasse at the base. We stepped with our feet at one side,and leaned our backs with the rucksacks on, against the ice wall on theother side. Bernice rolex Ladies Replica watch Notenboom was right of me and Lapka Nuru was on myleft side.When the avalanche finally hit us, it was the same feeling likesomebody would empty a truckload of headsized blue ice cubes over us.Our heads and upper body were protected from the serac, butunfortunately our legs were right in the line.
