All but one of the others are canary yellow, stand-up pitch-roofed models, about 12 feet by 6 feet, and are divided thusly: one for group communication equipment, medical supplies, and Brices bedroom; one kitchen for climbers and film team; one food storage tent; three mess tents; two client bathroom tents; three client storage tents; one sherpa kitchen; one sherpa dining; four sherpa dorm tents; and two sherpa bathroom tents. Each tent is rigged with a solar panel that charges a battery that runs the lights in the evening. Water is siphoned, via a replica Omega Diamond Ladie's 1460.75 Watch VERY long hose (nearly half a mile), from a glacial lake, while waste water is piped into a sinkhole out the other side of camp.The remaining structures include The Shack, a modest but sturdy plywood structure that serves as a makeshift film studio, and the Tiger Dome, where we spend most of our time.
The Tiger Dome, made by a Swiss company called White Pod, is a half-sphere 24-feet in diameter and 24-feet high, built on a wooden platform and constructed with a geodesic steel frame over which is stretched an insulated white skin. A 12-foot by 12-foot panel facing north is clear plastic, so we have bay-window views of Chomolungma—Everest—from inside. The interior is fully pimped out with aluminum replica Omega 1582.30 Ladie's watchrecliners and love seats, each draped with traditional tiger rugs, hence the name. A propane heater sits at the east wall. Across the room is the bar,well-stocked with beer, wine, Coke, Sprite, Red Bull, coffee and tea, for a modest 10 yuan each—about $1.25. Theres even a canister of oxygen available for purchase, though that will set you back the going rate here:
