Leaving C2 Under the Veil of Bad Weather

The second day the terrible wind was returning. We quickly packed up and ran down back to the safety. But it was too late. After 10 minutes the sky became dark and it started to snow heavily. The wind was growing and then right in the middle of the ice fall a fog came down. The situation became milky serious. We had to stop completely. " We must wait until the fog weakens" I said to Jan. I remembered that perhaps only few meters ahead was a big crack that we had to jump over. After 15 mins the fog weakened for a while and we jumped over the crack successfully. Then we traversed the ice edge, crossed another crack and Jan took over the leadership the rest of the way to C1. In another 6 hours we sat in the ABC and drank Coke. That was on April 24.
