Friday, April 10, 1998 — Gorak Shep (17,000')
Hi, it's Gordon. We've just climbed Kala Pattar (18,448') in absolutely stunning weather. The skyscape of the mountains: Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and of course Everest were absolutely brilliant. The entire group made it to the summit. It was probably the clearest day I've seen since I've been here — really an outstanding experience.

Where we'll have a celebratory dinner under the moonlight sky and stars of our camp. As you know we're all staying in large Himalayan hotels. We're actually able to move around to each others tents at night and enjoy this place which is somewhat desolate otherwise.
— Gordon Janow, Alpine Ascents International Program Director
