The Germans are locked up with the weather in the C3 at 7000m. There is a good danger from avalanches and they are to wait for three days when the weather should get better. But I'm leaving already tomorrow for the K2 Base Camp. Over there I will have myself inspected by an American doctor. I think that the toes are more bruised from the going down than from the chill but they have a strange color. I share the permit for K2 with the Americans so I believe they will cure me up.

So finally I'm fully acclimatized as I needed for the K2. The altitude carrier is very well also as he felt alright also in the 7800m altitude. No headaches or other problems at all. That's all from 448 as of now.

We will take a few days rest under K2 and then will start the way up via the Abruzzi ridge. I made a cooperation agreement with one more expedition, but not Czech one unfortunately. The same as at Broad Peak - when I come under K2 and according to the weather conditions we will agree on the peak day and will go for it together.
