Noshaq. On August 13 Swiss Guido Pagoni and I were in Camp III at 23,000 feet. The following two days we were unable to proceed because of very high winds and on the third night the wind threatened to rip the tent apart. On the 16th Guido had had enough, but I was able to climb to the summit (24,580 feet) alone. That evening another member of our six-man expedition, Eric Roberts joined me at Camp III and went to the summit on August 17.
