1991年12月19日,天气晴朗。我穿了件轻便的滑雪衫和同伴蒂姆·胡珀一起上路了。我的背包里装了一只睡袋、一个急救箱、四本书和一张旧的分辨不清的地图,还有姐姐琼妮,在布里斯本的妈妈和未婚妻盖伊·雷恩写来的信。我从医学研究院毕业后马上就会结婚,生活是那么美好。当天晚上圆月高挂,照亮了绵绵的喜玛拉雅北坡。在客栈,我们遇到几个德国人,他们说赫兰布山11500英尺以上就没法走了。他们建议我们登钩圣昆峰,并说,尽管要穿过15000英尺的劳雷冰那山口,但当时正好没有冰雪。“不过要是下雪的话”,他们中的一个说,“你们一定得返回。”第二天上午我们准备登钩圣昆。德国人给了我们一幅新地图。路上我们遇上了一个叫马克·富尔顿的澳大利亚人。他要与我们同行。走了一会儿,蒂姆的膝盖冻得受不了了,他决定返回。他向我要地图,我不加思索就把新地图给了他。 12月21日,马克和我到了奇索帕尼。
December 19, 1991, the weather is fine. I wore a light ski suit and fellow Tim Hooper on the road together. There was a sleeping bag, a first aid kit, four books and an old, indefinable map in my backpack, along with sister Joanne, a letter from Brisbane’s mum and fiancée Gay Ryan . I will get married immediately after graduating from the Institute of Medicine, life is so beautiful. The moon hung up that night, illuminating the northern slopes of the Himalayas. We met a few Germans at the inn, who said they could not walk more than 11,500 feet above Heramp. They suggested that we go up to Mount Saint-Kun and say that although it was going through 15000 feet of the crater of Laurel Ice, there was just not much snow and ice at the time. “But if it’s snowing,” one of them said, “You guys have to go back.” The next morning we were ready to board Shengkun. Germans gave us a new map. On the way we met an Australian named Mark Fulton. He will walk with us. Tim walked for a while, Tim’s knee can not stand the cold, he decided to return. He asked for a map of me and I gave him the new map without any thought. On December 21st, Mark and I went to Kisipani.
