Day 20. April, 29. BC (5200 m)
Yesterday in the evening Victor Bobok came to our camp to play and sing guitar songs. He used to work as a guide for Abramov, but several years ago somehow not nice left '7 summits' to work as a guide with his own clients. So Abramov and he didn't communicate with each other for quite a long time, because both were offended at each other. Now Sasha and Vitya reconciled and this is good. All our camp residents came to listen to the original songs and some people from other camps came as well. I love to listen such songs and love to sing to the guitar. But Bobok as a performer is so-so, so I decided not to waste my time and just left and went to read books before going to bed.
Today the film crew got up very early in the morning to film the necessary 'takes' with V. Pelsh. After the takes shooting the cameraman Sasha went around the camp with kitchenboys and filmed how they bring coffee to the clients.
Today early in the morning the famous showman Valdis Pelsh left us; it's a pity, now I can't write in my blog 'yesterday Valdis conducted the evening'. His first plan 'to ascend at least the North Col' wasn't realized unfortunately: Valdis wasn't higher than in MC - he wasn't in ABC. Evil tongues could also remember, that his attempt in autumn to ascend Elbrus was unsuccessful as well. In short, mountains are not easy for the Moscow celebrity.
Actually, it is not Valdis' fault that he leaves ahead of schedule - he got seriously sick, he almost completely lost his voice. It is not easy to be at such altitude in mountains without a preliminary preparation and strong desire. some fellows say, that Valdish got sick because he smoked and went without a hat in the frost and in the wind - these fellows just slander. Yeah, he smoked, yes, he went without a hat - but still he is a nice and positive person in general...
Well, to the regret of those who stay, showman by bus of the neighboring expedition started his trip back to Russia - through Lhasa, Chengdu and Beijing. The film crew will stay as members of the expedition to film the further actions.
After breakfast Tolya Menskiy and I decided to walk around and ascended almost the half of the neighbouring slope - 300 meters up. It is a wonderful view to the Rongbuk valley from there, the camps of all expeditions - including ours - are clearly seen.
There are many wild birds in surrounding mountains, they are about the size of pheasants, and a form of a partridge: they are not afraid of people, you can come closer - a few meters from them - to take a picture. When I came to the camp I found - to my regret - that all the workspaces in the Internet tent are occupied, and the club is fully occupied by the Sherpas, kitchen boys and their friends who listen to their sherpa-music. So I had to take a temporary workspace in the dining room. Now the lunch begins, so the today's post is done.
