Namaste Win P.S. Say hello to family and friends . Greetings from HMI base camp. Everyone has settled in, including our film crew of four. Dispatch has become more difficult due to our location. We're in one of the few areas on our planet that has no global satellite service.
Communication travels far.
Thanks to Alvin, at Alf Enterprises, we've managed to charge our camera batteries and computer with solar power, Even though we see the sun for about ten minutes each day. Regardless of the rain, we're reminded daily of the beauty surrounding us, especially when we review the incredible footage we've been able to capture. We eat well each day as the cook emerges from a blue tent posing as a kitchen, with yet another delicious meal. Our mountaineering and filmmaking resumes will be put to the test over the next four days, as the logistics of our location become an even greater challenge. The advanced and basic courses split into different areas, with the advanced women moving three hours to Advanced base camp at 16000ft. for height gain and the basic women learning crevasse rescue in another valley at 15,700ft.
