Competition results

August 12, 2004 By paul.adler

The picture is of Fiona being helped this morning by the Koreans at camp 2 into her down gear, climbing harness & backpack. Sore thumbs make it difficult to clip buckles, tighten straps etc. The generosity of the people here continues to amaze, with the Koreans in particular not stopping at anything. We gave them all our left over gas and food at camp 2.

Thanks everyone for your entries into the competition. It certainly gave us something to talk about with people on our way down. Not so much the answers, but that in going through all the entries, we didn’t get any that were in agreement on the boiling point of water at 6400m!

Some of entries were a little too complicated for us to comprehend in the rarified air of camp 4 & 2. Even at base camp, Jacci J’s entry needs a science degree to begin to make any sense of it!

I think that Brad Bond & Tim Kirk sound the most confident in their answers, however they vary in the boil point (F & C problem?) and are contradictory if the freezing point is greater or lower than 0C. It would be great if they could provide us with an answer that was in agreement!

Many Thanks, Paul & Fiona

Khan Tengri Climb 2004

In 2004, Paul and Fiona climb Mt Khan Tengri - the highest mountain in Kazakhstan. Although they reached the summit, they paid a cost with frost-bite. Read their daily blog from the climb here.
