Mount Everest fascinates nearly everyone; it must be the best known mountain in the world. Coming close to this giant is an amazing experience, and inevitably imposes respect.
By this time, Everest had disappeared in the clouds, but I still had great views over Rongphu Glacier: a stone-covered icy snake very slowly pushing its way down the valley, interspersed with small lakes, with white peaks sticking out of the grey cover. I continued my way up, and was glad with the long time I had spent at altitude: it was easy to push on. Unfortunately, I had to turn around to be back before darkness just as I was getting close to Camp I at over 5,600m. Mount Everest reappeared again, and the warm sunlight of the late afternoon falling on its North Face made for another marvellous sight. The night in the yak-hair tent was another adventure: without heating, but with several thick layers I actually did not feel cold. The next morning, I woke up early enough next to a bottle of solidly frozen water, and walked up to Everest Base Camp again. I found a large rock in the mostly frozen river running down from Rongphu Glacier, where I installed myself for stunning views of Mount Everest waking from its sleep. Still now, I could not take my eyes off the giant, especially since it changed appearance constantly. At times covered by a cloud, then appearing in full force with its pyramidal peak high into the blue sky, the sunlight reaching always lower on its sides, casting shadows over the steep flanks. As time passed, I could see the characteristic snow plume coming off the summit of the mountain, caused by the fact that its peak scratches the lower jet stream: even from a distance, it was easy to see that the windforce must be formidable. It was hard to say goodbye to Everest; my only consolation is that this will definitely not be the last visit. My fascination has become much more intense.
