Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Acer Laptop Battery
After drinking half of an Indian Army platoon's water supply, a case of mistaken identity pertaining to the Sherpa who carried said water, I felt refreshed enough to bypass Camp 2 and head straight to Camp 1 and on to Base Camp. This was a mistake, as it turned out, because the rest of my group thought I was headed to Camp 2 for some breakfast.
When Kenton and the rest of the crew arrived at Camp 2 and didn't find me there, they worried that I might have gotten lost and didn't find Camp 2. At the time, a thick fog had descended on the Western Cwm and heavy snowfall set in, so their fears weren't entirely unreasonable.
Still, I thought that my team would assume that I carried on and I furthermore assumed that they, being stronger and faster than I, would catch up with me by the time I reached the ice fall. I didn't think much of it when I had traversed half with battery such as Acer BTP-550P Battery , Acer BTP-73E1 Battery , Acer BATCL50L Battery , Acer TravelMate 290 Battery , Acer TravelMate 4000 Battery , Acer TravelMate 2300 Battery , Acer Aspire 1680 Battery , Acer Aspire 1410 Battery , Acer TravelMate 4500 Battery , Acer LCBTP03003 Battery , Acer Aspire 3820 Battery , Acer Aspire 5820 Battery the length of the ice fall and still nobody had caught up with me.
When I reached Base Camp a few hours later, the manager there, Henry Todd, showed considerable relief and gave me a big welcome hug. "Kenton will be happy to learn that you're here, safe and sound," Henry said.
I expressed surprise at this but Henry insisted that Kenton was most worried about me. As it turns out, by the time I entered the ice fall five hours earlier, Kenton and Henry had set in motion a full-scale search and rescue operation comprising several expeditions and their Sherpa. The radio airwaves were full of chatter about my possible whereabouts as Sherpa, mountain guides and other expedition members searched up and down the Western Cwm and ice fall for me. The fact that they did not find me, even in the ice fall itself, is a tribute to the new route through part of the ice fall that I discovered when I came across a stretch that did not have any rope due to an avalanche.
The next day, on our trek down to the helicopter landing site - a full five-hour-long march below Base Camp - several lodge proprietors and other locals greeted me with "Oh, you're the guy they were looking for yesterday afternoon." This was the last of several episodes that ended on a positive note but that could have spelled disaster.
Seven climbers and Sherpa did not fare so well on their trip to Mt. Everest this year. They will be part of a rather somber statistic of deaths on the mountain. This year alone, some three dozen climbers and Sherpa had to be evacuated due to brutal injuries, including broken backs and limbs. Tomorrow I will submit the last of my dispatches from Nepal.
