Dear friends and followers
This is Turkish climber Tunc Findik reporting from
Kangchenjunga. Recently we climbed to c1 at 6200 m altitude and made a depot.
The trip to c1 is quite straightforward and the last 250 m of the trip is
climbing on steep blue ice, 55 to 75 degrees and very brittle. C1 is situated
at a glacier shoulder and has the excellent views of Kang southwest face,
Jannu and Yalung glacier. Our plans for the near future includes sleeping at
c1 and c2, then we will almost be ready for the summit attempt, that we think
is possible by late may- considering the jetstream wind at 8000 m will subside
by then. My climbing partners Guntis Brands and Dawa Sherpa, we all feel safe
and acclimatised. All the best from Eastern Nepal
